04.20 2004 Litchfield Inventory 1946 – 2004 Number: 2004.020 Title: Litchfield Collection Creator: John Litchfield Dates: 1946-2004 Media: Papers, letters, caricatures, photographs, medals, awards Quantity: 2 c.f. Biography of John Litchfield: John was born in Lisbon Falls, Me. July 21, 1917. In 1934 he proved the best four event skier in the State Ski Championships and was awarded the Ski Meister Trophy. He was the only freshman Class “A” Ski Jumper at Dartmouth College. After graduation in 1939, John and Jimmie Durrance left for Sun Valley, Idaho to teach skiing. He remained there until WWII when he tried to enlist in Ketchum, Idaho but was turned down because of his eyes. The Army accepted him where he was sent to Fort Benning, Georgia for officer training school, from which he graduated a second lieutenant. He was assigned to Camp Roberts, California. Met Jean at Carmel and they were married in Denver, Colorado in 1943. In the summer of 1942, construction started at Pando, Colorado to house 15,000 men to train for mountain warfare. This division was called The Tenth Mountain, and the camp Camp Hale. The National Ski Patrol handled the recruiting and the quota of 15,000 was met before the date set. Skiers flocked to enlist. John joined the mountain training in Camp Hale as the 87th Infantry Platoon Leader and later was transferred to Headquarters Company Special Duty. John was with the Headquarters Company as a liaison officer when in Europe. During the Division’s rapid advance, a company disappeared and John and two other men were sent out at night in German occupied territory to locate this company. One man was killed, John killed his killer who shot at him and returned safely with his other companion. For this he was cited for meritorious combat between Feb. 19th and May 2nd 1945 by command of Major General Hays. After the war in 1945, John and Jean moved to Aspen Colorado to work with Friedl Pfeifer and the Aspen Ski School. He taught and was co-Director of the Aspen Ski School in the winters and picked up odd jobs during the summers including helping build the Sundeck on top of Aspen Mountain. He opened the original Red Onion in the summer of 1947, which he bought from Kellehers’ wife (was the Kelleher Saloon). That winter he left Aspen to teach in the Ski School in Sun Valley, Idaho but retained ownership of the Red Onion. He worked as the Director of the Ski School in Sun Valley. He sold the Red Onion to John Sihler in 1951 just after he was called to serve in the Korean War. He returned to Sun Valley after the war before he went onto many other endeavors. After moving around, divorcing Jean in 1953, remarrying another later that same year and then divorcing her in 1966, he finally retired in Denver, Colorado where he currently resides. Scope and Contents of the Collection: The collection is composed of papers, maps, letters, newspaper clippings, photographs, pastel caricatures, medals, and awards following John Litchfields’ time spent in Aspen starting in 1945 to when he left, and then following various people/ friends who started in Aspen throughout their lives until 2004. There are four scrapbooks, three photograph albums, various papers and letters regarding the 10th Mountian Division, Red Onion when he owned it, biographies on the people characterized in the Snuffy O’Neil caricatures, and maps showing the missions of the 10th Mountain Division Campaign in Italy. Organization of the Collection: The Collection maintains its original order as Litchfield requested. Each album has been kept intact in the order he put in the items. The only items that have been removed are duplicates (so we can add them to our regular collection) and items in separate envelopes not associated with an album. Within the separate envelopes, those items have been kept together when appropriate or put in individual bio files (see detailed descriptions). Photo/Scrapbook Albums: • Hotel Jerome, Aspen : Before & After Restoration 1945-47 • Aspen, Red Onion & Friends, 1946-47 • Aspen, Views & Friends, 1945-47 • Aspen #1 • Aspen #2 • Aspen #3 • Aspen #4 Administrative Information: Access: The collection is open under the rules and regulations of the Aspen Historical society. Collection is kept together in original order by request of John Litchfield except for the biographies of individuals which will be kept in a file in the WM section as well as the 10th Mountain Division information which is in the WM section as well.

In the past, not all boards have been interviewed by Council including the Animal Shelter, Building Code Board of Appeals and the Kid’s First Board. Mayor Torre has indicated that he would like Council to interview all perspective board members. To be consistent with how board interviews have happened in the past and due to the number of applicants for each board, staff is recommending that Council interview all members for each board at the same time instead of conducting individual interviews. Included in the packet for each board will be a list of the current members, the most recent ordinance or code section as well as bylaws if available. 2 Wheeler Board of Directors 1 regular member opening 7 regular members, 1 alternate member and 1 ex officio member Current Members Chip Fuller – chair – reapplying Tom Kurt – expires 2020 Richard Stettner – expires 2022 Christine Benedetti – vice chair – expires 2023 Nina Gabianelli – expires 2020 Amy Mountjoy – expires 2023 Ziska Childs –

    Gretl Uhl – the "Strudel-Queen" from Garmisch-Partenkirchen

    Gretl Uhl – the "Strudel-Queen" from Garmisch-Partenkirchen Gretl Hartl was born in Partenkirchen in 1923. She developed a passion for the mountains, and especially for skiing, very early on. Her parents ran a café at the Olympic Stadium in Garmisch. From 1941 onwards, Gretl also took part in official ski races, and ten years later she became a member of the German national team. During the war, from 1943 to 1945, she had worked on the Reichsbahn railway, but this did not stop her from continuing to ski. In 1948 Gretl Hartl married Sepp Uhl; they both shared the same passion for skiing. In 1951 Dick Durrance, a skier who would become very successful later on, arrived in Garmisch- Partenkirchen from Aspen, intending to present his film footage of the FIS World Cup in Colorado. Gretl and Sepp were invited to the presentation and were so delighted that they decided to emigrate to the famous American skiing town. After the Uhls found enough money to finance their crossing from Le Havre to New York and the train journey to Denver and on to Glenwood Springs, they set off, and arrived in Aspen, Colorado in November 1953. At first they lived there with their friend Wörndli in Alpine Lodge on Cooper Avenue. Later they rented a 45-dollar-a-month house on Main Street. Later on, Gretl emphasized continually that they had felt at home in Aspen from the very start, and that she and Sepp were immediately welcomed by the locals. They soon made the acquaintance of the famous skiing stars from Aspen.

It is AHS’s privilege to highlight and honor these stories – old and new – that define the upper Roaring Fork Valley’s collective identity. The final year of the decade brought a multitude of exciting opportunities to explore the past with AHS, from guided tours with historians and trained interpretive guides to four historic sites to one of the largest public archives in the region. Serving visitors and locals of all ages as a public resource, AHS guarantees we’ll continue to provide access to local history that fosters a sense of community and encourages a vested interest in the future of this special place. With a new decade upon us, this work remains as important as ever. Thanks to your continued support and participation, we look forward to continuing to celebrate the past, for the future. Sincerely, Kelly Murphy President & CEO MARGARET “MIGGS” DURRANCE Honoring Female Photographers in 2020 In honor of this year’s centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote, the historical images in this piece feature women of the era taken by Margaret “Miggs” Durrance.* Miggs was a professional photographer who worked with her husband Dick while he pursued film projects; her work appeared in national magazines such as LIFE, Look, Sports Illustrated and National Geographic.

    2010–11 Annual Report

    Hannah Kearney. Photo © Kirk Paulsen Photo Hannah Kearney. 2010–11 Annual Report TEAM - LOYALTY - INTEGRITY - RESPECT - ACCOUNTABILITY - PERSEVERANCE 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT As a U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) member or supporter, thank you for the spirit of Olympism you bring to our sport. Following in the footsteps of our athletes’ Best in the World success in Vancouver, the 2011 season showcased some amazing athletic accomplishments, sharp membership growth, a balanced budget and milestone accomplishments as an organization. Among those was the development of a new USSA athletic program and brand, U.S. Freeskiing, foreshadowing the announcement of new Olympic sports. Our elite teams – the face of our sport to the world – enjoyed a high level of success. Freestyle’s Hannah Kearney and snowboarder Kelly Clark both dominated their sports and set new standards of excellence. Lindsey Vonn and Ted Ligety repeated with titles on the Audi FIS Alpine World Cup, while Kikkan Randall made history for American cross country. Athletic development remains vital to long term success. The work of our 425 local clubs integrating with our USSA National Training System continues to grow. We will expand that connectivity moving forward with the addition of a sport development staff position to work directly with clubs. The success of our athletes stems in a large way from the support made possible by our passionate donors. This year we completed our $60 million Legacy Campaign that not only made the USSA Center of Excellence a reality, but continues to support our athletic programs each year. Moving forward, we will launch a new educational endowment to expand our scholastic support to USSA athletes.
