Dave Nulle (the Zamboni...excuse me "Olympia brand ice resurfacer" guy got some mention in the Cornell Chronicle this week.
First an article about synchronized skating:

p 13 of the following pdf has some pictures and a few interesting tidbits about his history:

Edit: changed swimming to skating (boy, that was dopey)
Fixed second link, which now leads to the pdf of the entire chronicle.
Sorry about that.

Um, I think you meant synchronized skating, not synchronized swimming, and more importantly, the second URL leads to the same article as the first. No "tidbits."
Thanks...I fixed the post (hopefully). I just think synchronized is followed by "swimming" in my head...I've never seen synchronized skating (did not, in fact, know it existed until this chronicle).
Second link should now lead to the pdf version of the Cornell Chronicle.
Given that I'm not a total doofus in normal life, I have an amazingly high error rate when I post here (thankfully I don't post often). Must be those late night posts (8:23 pm...should have been in bed).
Thanks for prompting me to fix it.

Thanks for fixing that link. Interesting blurb. It states that Dave's parents were Cornell Classes of '32 and '33. So either his parents had Dave quite late in life or Dave is a lot older than he looks, or both.
There was also a column written about Dave in The Daily Sun back in November:

Wow! Doesn't anyone at The Sun read their stuff before it goes out on the web site?
