RE: Leavenworth Ski Area - Yesterday and Today

in #photography5 years ago

Thanks for getting back to me. I live in L-town and am married to a Bakke. The Upper Valley Museum is moving to a downtown location, and I am working with them and the LWSC to get a more complete history of not just jumping, but of the hill itself. Those pics that you have posted above are the best yet of the newly built trestle after its collapse in 1957.

We are looking for any old pics, videos, and artifacts. Many of the local families have home movies and photos and are anxious to help. I even have some 8mm that my in-law took in 1959 that I am in the process of digitizing, plus have scanned his slides from the '54-'62 time period. Might even be one of your father. May I ask his name?

I have all(most) of the stuff that I have gathered loaded into the video editor as placeholders while I chase down HDdigital copies, and obtain publication rights. We would love to include yours, with full credit. Would you be ok with moving the remainder of our conversion to e-mail, or does it need to be here?

Thank you,
Brian

Thanks Brian, now I get your username and the connection to the hill. Missed that the first time, lol.

Sounds like a great project and I would be honored to have some of my dad's stuff included. I'm a little hesitant to post my email here but I could make a throw away or if you do discord you could direct message me yours at oldmans#4913.

Thanks,
Bill

Just got discord to DM. bakkeski#6123
