All EMARI Alumni are invited to join us for a free ski day with lunch provided at Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, MA.   Lifts turn at 9:00 am.   We'll gather in the Granite Room of the base lodge.  This is the room closest to the ski patrol base, with the double sided fireplace.Take some runs, sit and chat over a coffee or hot chocolate, catch up with friends old and new, and remember the good old days (see picture below).  We'd love to have you join us.   I'll be master of ceremonies, and with luck may have a new Region Alumni Advisor to introduce you to, to boot.  A big thank you to Kevin McDonald and Wachusett Mountain for hosting us and providing tickets and lunch.  If you think you can make it, please email me at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Gerry T. Clark, 74, left us on October 11, 2019, at Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA, after a Brave and Courageous fight with cancer.

She was born in Boston, MA on March 29, 1945. The daughter of the late Frederick English and G. Francis (Meyers) DiNitto.

Gerry attended Saint Joseph Academy and Boston College. Gerry was employed by American Airlines at Logan Airport in Boston as an administrator of Tech-Ops. Prior to that, she worked for the Federal Aviation Administration as an Air Traffic Controller at Hanscom Air Force Base and Boston’s Logan Airport.

Gerry’s love of skiing and desire to help others led her to The National Ski Patrol for over 35 years. Volunteering was a major part of her life, for over 30 years she assisted with the New Hampshire Special Olympics as an organizer and the New Hampshire Highland Games as a photographer, and several other organizations.

She was married to the late William T. Clark of Peterborough, NH.

Gerry is survived by her sons, Shawn Higgins, Brett Higgins of NH and MA, and Dennis Higgins of Nashua, Grandchildren, Jonathan Clark of Keene, Shane and Taylor Higgins of NC, Dennis Jr., Dillion and Donovan Higgins of Hudson. And all the great memories with friends and family. Gerry was a loving mother and grandmother, a dedicated friend, and confidant to many and a selfless volunteer.
