Jim Lamy

In the first decade of this century Ed Lamy was the greatest speed skater in the United States. His son, Jim Lamy tried speed skating for a short time but went on to become one of the most titled men in American bobsledding. Lamy represented the Saranac Lake Bobsled Club and, in addition to his Olympic medal, he won the following titles: North American 4-man (1957, 1959 and 1962), AAU 2-man (1962 and 1963), and AAU 4-man (1955 and 1961-62). Lamy worked for many years in sales with the Swift Co. near Lake Placid. He later became the manager of the Mt. Van Hoevenburg bobsled facility.
