Posters discuss the reference to Stein Ericson when Elaine describes Puddy's fur coat, with one identifying him as a 1954 Olympic skiing champion and current ski director at Deer Valley Resort.

In last week's rerun, Elaine refers to Puddy in his "man-fur" as looking like Stein Ericson. Who is he? I didn't get the reference the first time it aired, and I'm still clueless. Mark

Stein Ericson was an Olympic Gold Medal skiing champion in 1954. and is the current Ski Director at the Deer Valley Resort Ski Resort in Park City, Utah. If you go there, be sure to book a few nights at, you guessed it, Stein Ericson lodge.

I imagine it was an obscure winter-sports reference the writers were going for, due to Puddy's fur coat, and it worked. [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.)
