Tony Booth.

He had a silver pontiac firebird HO and lived down near dow someplace.

He tried to go through the slalom course that had been put on the mountain for the nationals the day before. They had cut saplings from the woods and made up the course and overnight they froze in solid. He caught an edge on one partway through and his ski and leg stopped dead which pretty much shattered the bones in that leg.
Fortuneately for Tony the doctors including the specialists that were up for the trials were still down at Dartmouth so the top bone guy in the country reassembled his leg bones and they put him in a full body cast then a half cast for a while then a leg cast then a lower leg cast then he was ok without one. He was a hopeful for the olympic team before the accident but lost a year plus in te recovery while he attended Franconia for the next year then took off to follow the snow around the world which is when I lost contact with him.

Now Charlie Zablotsky ( CZab ) was also local and on the ski team but got called up and spent time in the army as a military policeman. He was sent to Nam and had to learn all the unarmed combat stuff the ground grunts knew as well as hhow to stop them and then some. When he came back to the area he visited the Dojo in Littleton and arranged to work pout with the master since he could not do that with anyone who was not well enough trained since they might do something that wouuld trigger the wrong response and he did not trust himself to not overreact as he had been trained to do in a life threatening situation . Charlei was probably one of the nicest guys I ever knew who would do almost anything for almost anyone if he could help. He was also probably one of the most dangerous people I ever knew but no one would have ever known that.
