Description
It seems there was a lot of love around Gertrude Wepsala. Known to many as Gertie, she was a well-loved, well-respected ski champion. Or as the Montreal Standard called her, "Canada's Gertrude." "Canada" may have loved her, but her home slopes were the North Shore Mountains.
She loved to ski. She trained hard. She skied hard. She posed for photos. Not surprising then that the media also shared in that love...their love for her.
