Downhill Deeds of Derring-do



Mom's pal, Beneta held up the treasured photo
so Stan could copy it.


On a bright Saturday afternoon in February 1989, Kathleen and her mother-in-law Beverly swooshed briskly down Andy's Mountain near Alexandria, Minnesota. Stan and Erling waited for their daring, athletic women at the foot of the twisting slope and watched Kathleen take a dramatic tumble at the final turn. Beverly helped her partner to her feet and this photograph was taken. 
The oft-told tale was repeated for Mom's housemate and pal, Beneta, yesterday and she was suitably impressed -- Mom was, after all, 68 at the time.
