About 150 Dartmouth students helped make the day a great success, says Pete
Bleyler ’61, director of the games. “They volunteered as individuals and in
groups, from fraternities and sororities, the football team, the men’s and
women’s tennis teams, the ski patrol, and the women’s rugby teams. By donating
their time, energy, and many smiles, they helped intellectually challenged
individuals demonstrate their courage and experience the joy of competing.”
For their key support, Bleyler gives special thanks to President James Wright;
Doug Holler, general manager of the Skiway; Kirsten Orloff ’10, chair of the Tucker Foundation Special Olympics
group; and Emily Luscz ’08 and Kyle Sherry ’09, members of the games management
team.
