ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In the the summer of 1975, Gerard Grabowski came to Traverse City for the Grand Traverse Nordic Ski Camp. He and several teenage Nordic skiers stayed at the home of Ted and Shirley Okerstrom and rollerskied through the town. That experience inspired his lifelong love of Nordic skiing. He skied his first 50K in 1977 when the North American Vasa started at the Cherry Capital Airport. Years later he skied for the Northern Michigan University Nordic team. In the winter of 1984, he and friends skied several Nordic ski marathons that were part of the Worldloppet, an international sports federation of cross-country skiing marathons, founded in June 10th 1978 in Uppsala, Sweden.
