XC-ski racing in 1969 in Alaska
I was searching for something completely different and found this. This article is mostly about a "lost" trail near Anchorage, Alaska. But there are some old photos of races from 1969. Included are photos of a very young Shirley Firth, one of the famous Firth twins from NWT who dominated the Canadian women's racing scene in the 1970s. http://www.alsap.org/GirdwoodJrNatl/GirdwoodJrNatl.htm -- David Dermott , Wolfville Ridge, Nova Scotia, Canada WWW pages: http://www.dermott.ca/index.html |
