[Healeys] Norman Nock, the skier

[Editorgary at aol.com]

Adding another story. Norman Nock was an expert skier from the time he 
moved to California. He explained to me that the reason that he moved from San 
Francisco, where he had worked for Kjell Qvale's British Motor Cars to the 
BMC dealership in Stockton (which eventually became his business, Briish Car 
Specialists) was so he and Shona, his wonderful wife, would be two hours 
closer to the ski slopes of the Sierras. He and Shona also purchased a teardrop 
trailer, and one of the pictures I published once in the magazine was of 
that teardrop trailer, hitched to their Healey, snowed-covered in th parking 
lot of Squaw Valley. I thoroughly enjoyed the times we skied together, with 
Norman leading the way in an easy, graceful and flowing style down very 
challenging slopes.
