Building San Diego Ski Club Chalet 1959 from John McFrog on Vimeo.Thanks to Jewel Levine for the content.

At the 2009 Christmas Party at Erin Barber’s house, Jewel LeVine and Ralph Barber named some of the participants in the 1958/9 dismantling of the Quonset hut from 32nd St Naval Yard and the building of the Ski Chalet in Mammoth. Both Ralph Barber and his wife Nancy Barber participated in the building of the Chalet.

It was noted that one of the real powerhouses behind the project was Henry Mandolf, for whom the Chalet is named. Another key player was George Cruse, who obtained the surplus Quonset hut. Both of these gentlemen were past presidents of the club. Joe LeVine, also seen early in the video, was also a past president. Ted Baglin, Milt Kackson (past president), Andy Anderson (past president), Jack Skimmin (past president), Art Wuluck, Andy Lucas (past president), Bob Casebolt, Vern Otte (past mountaineering chair and 10 Mountain vet), and Jim Wehsner (past president) were all identified in the video. Last but not least, Gloria Kelly was identified as a former president and top ski racer, who routinely beat members of the less fair sex.
