A Message from Hilary Lindh |
In all my years as a member of the U.S. Ski Team, pursing Olympic medals and national and world championships I did not give much thought to what would happen to my records once my career was over. It is great to learn that everything I worked for won't be forgotten; nor will with work of my fellow inductees from across the country: Darcy Brown, Walter Foeger and Erich Sailer. This is the Hall of Fame for skiers and it should be as important to us as the Baseball Hall of Fame is to the players of that sport.
Our hall of fame need you if it is to properly carry out it's mission of collecting, preserving and presenting for public enjoyment the artifacts, literature and memorabilia of the rich history of skisport in America.
Sincerely,
Hilary Lindh
1997 World Champion, 1992 Olympic medalist, and Honored Member (Class of 2005)
