Biographical Text
Dot Kimura learned to ski on the Harlow Ski Club's rope tow in the winter of 1940 and joined the ski school as an instructor in 1950. As its director for twenty-seven seasons she taught, by her own count, more than eleven thousand Harlow children to ski, and started the Thursday-night lessons for mill workers. She was recorded for the Tincup Mountain Oral History Project in 2004.
