It was requested that people avoided naming it after an individual. The winner was given a family season pass for the 1966-67 ski season.
25 Years Ago: Several vending machines were tampered with at 1900 Main Ave., totaling roughly $2,100 in damages. Juveniles were reported throwing rocks at cars shortly after, although police could not confirm the two incidents were connected.
