He is often seen grinning at embarrassed victims from behind his camera, as he performs the dilflcult job of Spark Photography Editor with imagination, and with appar- ent relish. On the ski bus Nicky is a lively version of Shelley Berman. Once he straps on his skis, he changes to a skilled, fearless schussboomer. Nicky will be remembered for his serious moments, for he is a thinking person who takes the time to notice what is happening around him. Nicky cares deeply about other peo- ple, about his work, and about Park School.
