JACK HOLLAND NO DOUBT WAS THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED SKIER BORN IN PETERBOROUGH. HE IS FEATURED ON THE COVER OF MY BOOK AND IN A SEPARATE CHAPTER. THESE PHOTOS WERE OBTAINED FROM HIS FAMILY IN THE U.S.A. AND HIS NEICE NORMA (HOLLAND) NICHOLS HERE IN PETERBOROUGH. PRESENTLY THERE IS AN APPLICATION TO HAVE HIM INCLUDED IN THE PETERBOROUGH & DISTRICT SPORTS HALL OF FAME.

AND ON FEBRUARY 7TH 2011 THIS ARTICLE APPEARED IN THE EXAMINER. FURTHER ENQUIRIES WITH THE SMITH-ENNISMORE-LAKEFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT ESTABLISED THE DATE AS |
APRIL 15, 1961
