Default RIP Paul Schipper

Just in case you knew him...

"PORTLAND, Maine -- Paul Schipper, an avid skier who obsessively hit the slopes
every day of the season for more than 24 years, has died. He was 85...Schipper
was a familiar figure at Sugarloaf ski resort in Carrabassett Valley, where he
and his wife owned a ski lodge. Between 1980 and January 2005, he skied the
3,903 consecutive days that the mountain was open."
