Supporter Spotlight: Angelo Decrisantis
By Wendy Almeida
For Angelo Decrisantis, Mount Washington has been a lifelong connection. It began in 1965, at age 15, on a family drive to the summit. “My first experience with the Observatory was in 1965 when I drove to the summit with my family while on vacation. I instantly fell in love with the mountain and everything else about it,” he recalls.
Angelo became a member soon after and has supported the Observatory for nearly 50 years, hiking to the summit in all kinds of weather — even sub-zero winter climbs with his son.
These days, he stays connected through the Observatory’s webcams. “I am enjoying the addition of the Waumbek Station cams, looking down and up. There are splendid views, but I love catching the cogs running by on parallel tracks. It makes me feel like I am there enjoying the day. Great addition to the family of cams I visit every morning, particularly in the winter. Can’t get enough of the ever changing weather and extreme conditions you may find on any given day.”
