Remembering Milton's Fred Fayette Jr.: 'He Knew Just What You Needed'
In spring 2015, Stella Holt, then a competitive skier and graduating student athlete, made a 13-minute documentary film that chronicles the life of Fred Fayette Jr., a longtime assistant Nordic ski coach at the University of Vermont. In one scene, Fred stands along a racecourse calling out times and words of encouragement to the skiers as they speed by. To those who knew Fred from his four decades of volunteering with the UVM athletics department, it was no surprise that he inspired a student athlete to tell his story in her senior project.
