WARREN’S WORLD: Skiing with Astronauts

I’ve met some amazing people over my 86 years.

There was six inches of new snow on the windshield of my car as I loaded the skis in the back for a trip to Beaver Creek from our house in Vail. I stopped by Jack’s condominium and blinked my lights. Jack came out with his skis and poles in one hand and a cup of coffee and the latest Wall Street Journal in the other.

It was a 15-minute drive to Beaver Creek. There we disappeared into the bowels of the parking garage and at this early hour it was almost vacant. We climbed the stairs to the ski shop to meet Dick Hauserman and his two guests. There were only three inches of snow on the concrete walk.

In the ski shop Jack and I were introduced to Scott and Alan. Both were tall and athletic looking. Dick had decided we would eat at the restaurant at the top of the first chair as we anticipated a powder snow day. Everyone seemed to know Jack very well as if they were old college buddies. After breakfast and a few ski runs in the powder snow I finally put the entire group’s background together in my mind.
