    Hi Jed. Jeff Forester told me to contact you regarding my past ski jumping days. I was first girl ski jumper from Hibbing Mn in late 50’s until 1964. I went to the ski meet on Jan 20 & met Carolyn Ripp whose daughter jumps & Jeff’s daughter plus many others. Carolyn posted on FB. Then an article appeared in letter to the editor in Hibbing Daily Tribune. . From there I hv posted info & trophies on my FB. If you are interested friend me to read scrolling down beginning with my night at the meet…I jumped with only boys & best them too but it was a time when it was not ladylike. I could win but only as an axhibitionist, I do have a story to tell…& l am going to write it for my family….my dad was in wwII In 10th mtn division & great skier & when he came home he started the ski jumping on the range building jumps. After I was born, He taught me & I loved it. Too much to write but my FB posts will give you an idea. These girl athletes call me the trailblazer. Lol. We moved to Mpls from Hibbing 5 yrs ago & after buying realized the bush lake jump could be seen from our deck!!Paulette Gustin (kiskis) 2189292517. Lv a message
