Lyrics he has written to music he has composed include charming children’s songs, designed to educate as well as entertain. His writing skills were nurtured during his years as a prominent discussion leader with the Great Books Foundation. Hirsch has served as a ski consultant to travel agencies, ski clubs and various publications. Once he discovered the joys of skiing at the age of 45, the die was cast. Eight years later, Hirsch sold his family’s business to the fourth generation in order to devote more time to his favorite sport. A resident of Long Island NY, where the only skiing is on water, he will drop everything at the suggestion of a snowflake.view less
