I will never forget the glory days I spent skiing Wachusett with Drew. I'll fondly remember those days, especially the day I met up with him at Winter Park purely by coincidence the winter of 2004. Drew was a great kid and although I did not have the chance to spend much time with him these past few years I have and will always consider him a good friend of mine. To the Milliner family: my deepest condolences to you in these hard times.
