Hi Ben:
 
I was watching TV about 3 a.m. and there was a documentary on the 10th Mountain Division which is the ski unit in WWII that I asked you about.  I think Senator Bob Dole was in that unit from what I could pick up or a relative (as usual I could be confused).
 
I thought it was interesting since I had asked you about it a little over a month ago.  Apparently one of the members of the 10th Mountain Division founded Vail area for skiing and also built the first large tram going up to 10,500 feet for skiing after WWII.
 
I just thought I would let you know what I saw.
 
I hope all is well with you.
 
Chris
 
Bob Dole was a much decorated Lieutenant in the 10th Mountain Division and was severely wounded .- Ben
