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.

WHEN RESEARCHING MY BOOK I TRIED VERY HARD TO  FIND OUT WHEN THE
SKI JUMP WAS DISMANTLED.  NORM HOWARD, A MEMBER OF THE EXCUTIVE
IN THE 60S TOLD ME HE "THOUGHT" THE JUMP HAD BEEN BURNT DOWN.  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
