Skiers this winter will see new and better exhibits of memorabilia in the base lodge of the Camelback Ski area--and in a new location. The exhibits have been "dressed up" and moved to the east cafeteria.

Several members of the board of directors spent time recently in adding items to our collection of vintage skis and equipment. And, of course, they gave special attention to our Hall of Fame, which now has 48 members.

The Hall of Fame is made up of persons who have made significant contributions to the development of winter sports in Pennsylvania. Some are natives of the state who played important roles in the national and international scenes. Their biographies are included in the displays. The ski area is planning a host of events this season and we hope that, when skiers are here, they take time to see a bit of history of their sport.

We have been appreciative of the cooperation and support we have had from the folks at Camelback

Prominent Stroudsburg attorney Jeffrey L. Wright has been elected president of the Pennsylvania Ski and Winter Sports Museum, which is based at the Camelback Ski Area.

Wright, an associate with the firm of Cramer, Swetz and McManus, heads the volunteer board of directors, who serve the museum in its mission to preserve history and tradition of winter sports in the state.

In accepting the challenge, Wright saluted his predecessor Albert Dowden, also of Stroudsburg and a founder of the museum: "Al has been highly effective in shepherding the growth of the museum---its membership, impressive exhibits and its Hall of Fame. We look forward to maintaining the pace."

The new post adds another responsibility to Wright's long list of business and community activities and membership in historical, religious and service organizations. In addition to winter sports, his interests include local history and genealogy. Wright is author of several family histories.

Born in Allentown, he graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in history and earned his law degree at Duquesne University.
