MIDDLEBURY RESIDENT HERB Gingrich represented Vermont at the USA Special Olympic Nationals in Nebraska last summer. He won two gold medals in the pool. He will compete in the Special Olympics Winter Games this coming weekend.
MIDDLEBURY — Some know him from the ski slopes, some know him from the pool, I met him at the ACTR bus stop downtown. Dressed in worn jeans, a brown jacket and a black ski mask pulled up over his entire face, Herb Gingrich was the typical Vermont skier, or so I thought.
Little did I know that beneath that ski mask was no common man; underneath those layers was a resilient hero.
