          MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
          Hi, OSTC members,  I am David
          Miller, and  I'm presently your Florida Ski Council Delegate.. A
          little about myself and how I became a SKIER.. My age doesn't matter,
          let us  just say  I'm a mature adult male.. Single 
          and retired... After  my upbringing in W.Va. I served in the
          USAF for 6 yrs,  which is where I eventually learned to ski.**
          In  Alaska.** we'll say the early 60's.. and after getting some
          of the basics down the Air Force and I decided we should part
          company.  So I came to Orlando Fl. due to my parents having
          moved here while I was in the service.       It
          turned out that there was no where to ski in Florida except in the
          water and the few times I did, well  that did not turn out
          well.. I eventually  secured a job in law enforcement, a local
          dept,  Winter Park Police Dept.  In the time I was with the
          Dept, I had rediscovered skiing when I found the Orlando Ski Club,,
          Well things had changed a little in the skiing world but not much...
          So after a lot of lessons I  felt I had my ski legs back .And my
          wife at the time (just married) and I  had our Honeymoon with
          the very first Florida Ski Council trip with the OSC to Copper
          Mountain Club Med.. That was in 1984. The OSC  was a Charter
          member in the Florida Ski Council... In another couple of years I
          became President of the OSC.. The Club was growing  with a lot
          of enthusiasm and leadership in every office and board position.. In
          1988    I  became an officer in the Florida Ski
          Council   and  served  the  FSC 
           for  4  years: 2 years Treasurer and 2 years as 
          2nd Vice President..             
                 
           By this time I was a Deputy
          Sheriff with Orange County Sheriffs Office .. I continued serving on
          the board of the OSC in various positions, where ever I could help
          the club.  The Club was doing great with younger leadership
          keeping up with the times, Yes the computer age was upon us and we
          (The OSC) had to change with the times.  In the  years
          since the late 90's I have also volunteered to be the Race Captain
          for the club on the January Florida Ski Council Trip of each year ..
          After many years and many 2nd and third place finishes The Orlando
          Ski Club finally won the Florida Ski Council Race Cup in 2018 
          and then guess what,, YEP !! we won it again in 2019.. And we are
          going for a threepeat in 2020 in Snowmass..  Hope to see You on
          the Slopes....
