It took a little while, but...

Warren Mickelson served the National Ski Patrol as a volunteer patroller at Ski Haven/Mt Kato Ski area for over 20 years.  He is a current Alumni member of the NSP.  He never received his 20 year pin and certificate.   We confirmed his years of service through  the NSP archives and ordered the pin and certificate.

His family presented them to him recently at a family gathering, much to his surprise and joy.

Warren first joined in 1971 and patrolled through 1991 and for maybe a couple more years. He completed Avalanche Level I in 1975.

                His daughter contacted us last Fall about him never receiving his 20 year certificate and pin.  Her inquiry indicated how much it would mean to him to receive this.  With a little research and help from National we confirmed that he did serve 20 years for Ski Haven/Mt Kato Ski Patrol.
