    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<p><b>Biography/History: <br /></b><span style="font-weight:400;">The National Ski Association was organized in 1904 at Ishpeming by Carl Tollefsen, Askel Holter, Erick Hoyseth, Ole G. Aas, Albert Aas, and George A. Newest. Carl Tellefson, considered the “Father of Ski Sport in America,” was the group's first president, and Aksel Holter was the first secretary. Holter also served as editor of one of the first periodicals for skiers, the National Ski Association's member journal The Skisport. The charter members of the National Ski Association included the Aurora Ski Club (Red Wing), St. Paul Ski Club (Minnesota), Stoughton Ski Club (Wisconsin), Grand Rapids Ski Club (Michigan), and Ishpeming Ski Club (Michigan). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">By 1925, the interest in the organization had become so great that it needed to be split into six divisions. These divisions included the Eastern Ski Association, Central Ski Association, Western Ski Association, Arrowhead Ski Association, California Ski Association, and the Pacific Northwestern Ski Association. All six of these divisions were governed by the National Ski Association. Outside of this organization, the national organization had affiliations with the International Federation De Ski, and various other ski, Olympic, and recreation organizations.</span></p>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Pioneer Farm to Urban Store: The Bonhus Family History from 1844 to 1974

Description from the book: "This is a family history that begins with a husband and wife coming from Norway to the united States in 1844, one Anders Bonhus and Anne Olsbrygge Bonhus and ends with the death of their grandson Carl Alffred Bonhus in 1957. 

It is a family history that attemps to sketch the web of family relationships that existed for each of the generations cover and the cntext of the times in which each generation lives. A life is not readily revealed in a simple recitation of birth date, place of birth, deaht date, and place of death. 

Each individual in a family tree lives out his or her days in the midst of an extended family, often presided over by a patriach and matriach while events near and far impact daily esitence. Family relationships and these events determine the path a life takes which in turn affects each succeeding generation. These are the themes in this Bonhus Family History."]]></dcterms:description>
