                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 2, 2012

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, on October 30, 2012 Mr. Peter Pinkham will 
receive the White Mountains Treasure Award from the Mt. Washington 
Valley Chamber of Commerce. I am pleased to congratulate him on this 
fine achievement and thank him for all of his service to the 
communities and people of the Mt. Washington Valley.
  Mr. Pinkham has previously served as President of the North Conway 
Chamber of Commerce and later founded the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber 
of Commerce. His public service also includes serving as a Selectman 
for the Town of Conway for six years, as well as the Town Moderator, 
and as a member of the School Board and the Budget Committee.
  Mr. Pinkham has also been instrumental in contributing to the skiing 
industry with his work at Attitash and with Free Style Skiing. Attitash 
held the first Free Style competitions in the world in 1966 and helped 
bring snowmaking to the Valley. Peter also contributed to the sport 
personally by serving as Director of Attitash and teaching the Junior 
Ski Program. These great contributions to one of New Hampshire's most 
loved sports and recreational past times will allow future generations 
to enjoy both Attitash and the skiing amenities in the Valley for many 
years to come. Peter has also made numerous contributions to the local 
theater community founding the Children's Theater Company, Piett 
Pipper, and Community Theatre, the Resort Players. His work has been 
performed at the Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse and another of his short 
musicals was used in the celebrations for Cranmore's 50th Anniversary.
  These impressive accomplishments highlight Peter's dedication to his 
community and his tireless efforts to celebrate everything great about 
New Hampshire's beautiful North Country. I congratulate Mr. Pinkham for 
receiving this award and for his outstanding service to the Mt. 
Washington Valley. I wish him the very best for the future.
