Penny Pitou
With the recent name changing of the 1960 Olympic venue Squaw Valley. I learned about Penny Pitou A local resident of Gilford and business owner in Laconia. She won 2 silver medals in that Olympics 1 DH and 1 GS. Sounds like she is an extraordinary individual.

If I remember correctly she owned Kimball Castle for a while too.

She was the first US woman to medal in Olympic Alpine skiing.
