David Lawrence

David Judah Lawrence (April 15, 1930 – September 20, 2003) was an American alpine ski racer. He competed in the giant slalom at the 1952 Winter Olympics and finished 35th. David’s father Ludovic stayed in Estoril, at the Hotel Palácio, between June 22 and July 1, 1940; and then joined his son and wife Johanna when they arrived in Monte Estoril, where they stayed at the Grande Hotel, between July 1 and 15, 1940. On the same day that they checked out, they boarded the Pan Am Yankee Clipper headed for New York City, arriving on July 20, 1940.

In 1948, he enrolled to Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, and graduated in 1951. That year, he married fellow American alpine ski racer Andrea Mead; they both competed at the 1952 Olympics, where she won two gold medals, in the giant slalom and slalom.

Lawrence then managed the Pico Peak ski area in Vermont, which was owned by his mother-in-law. In 1954, the couple moved to Parshall, Colorado, where he coached alpine skiing until 1957. Between 1952 and 1956, Andrea gave birth to a girl and two boys,
