At
the Masters Competition, Peter Claus handed me a yellowed copy of the Woodstock (NY) Times
with an article about an old, abandoned ski jump in the Woodstock area. The jump was
rediscovered and documented by long-time jumper, and character, Dean Schambach.
A few days later, Pete e-mailed me a link to the same article on the web.

Please
forgive the late and incomplete posting of the Spring 2005 issue
of New Heights Online. I received half of the text
and none of the pictures before I left for an extended
summer trip. Over the next three months, no further material
was provided, so I used OCR to recover the text from the
printed edition. What follows is a text-only version
of the spring edition. DCW, September 2005
