Thanks and Good Luck

· Mon Aug 18, 05:53 PM by Timothy M. Weston

Now that I’m packed and ready to leave (thankfully all my stuff does fit into the Subi!), I want to say thanks to everybody one last time. BSF has been a great part of my life for the past several years. Thanks to all the athletes, parents, coaches, volunteers, and supporters that help to make the organization what it is.

To the kids: I want to wish you best of luck in and out of sport. Keep up all the hard work and you won’t even need the luck! And try to enjoy the ride as much as possible. I hope skiing has been a positive part of your life, and that it remains with you for a long time to come. I’ve got a lot of good memories, plenty of humorous memories, and even a few sad ones. They are all there, and they all include you guys, and I won’t lose them.

To the parents: Thanks for the support, opening your homes, driving your kids to practice. I got to know some of you more than others, but by and large the experiences were positive. BSF is not just coaches and athletes — you are a significant part of the group and help keep it running smoothly. Thanks for all the letters of encouragement, and for the funding to buy my new bread machine when I get to Vermont!

I will keep the same email address, and I believe my cell # will stay the same. If/when any of you make it out East, please drop me a line. And if you know of skiers that want to spend some time in VT, I think I might know a guy…

I’m trying not to get too sentimental, but I have to at least show y’all the new paint job on my helmet. Mellie Park painted it a couple years back — pink with flowers. The new artwork was done by Natalie Flowers et al.

All the best BSF,

1. Tim—

   We were very fortunate to have you in the community and with BSF for the past few years. Your Nordic expertise and commitment to the success of the kids was a great contribution. Also, moving us into the 21st Century with our webpage was big. Best of luck on your return to New England. Thanks, Erich Pessl
