Chummy Broomhall, two-time Olympic cross country skier and the oldest living member of the Chisholm Ski Club, will be celebrating his 98th birthday on December 3rd. Last year the Chisholm Ski Club sponsored a card campaign for Chummy’s birthday and he received almost 150 cards! Let’s blow that number out of the water this year and start sending him birthday wishes now.
Send birthday cards to Wendell “Chummy” Broomhall c/o Maine Veterans Home 477 High Street, South Paris, ME 04281

Really nice idea. For those who may not know him, Wendell Broomhall was elected to the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame in 1981. Born into a family of 15 children, he and three of his brothers are members of the Maine Ski Hall of Fame.
