David Bradley, 92; Warned of Health Risks of Atomic Weapons

In 1960, he was team manager of the U.S. Olympic Nordic ski team, and he co-wrote an instruction book, "Expert Skiing," with champion skier Ralph Miller and Olympic ski coach Al Merrill.

In 1985, Dr. Bradley was inducted into what is now the U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. Besides his early skiing accomplishments, the induction cited his work renovating 66 ski jumps in the eastern United States and his 28 years as jumping coach for the Ford Sayre junior skiing program in Hanover, N.H., which counted several championship jumpers among its alumni.

After his Dartmouth graduation, Dr. Bradley went to Europe as a correspondent for the Lee newspaper syndicate and covered the Russo-Finnish winter war of 1939-40. He had known many Finns from skiing and wanted to help them against the invading Soviets.

His subsequent visit to Finland decades later was the subject of "Lion Among Roses" (1965), an admiring look at the Nordic country and its people.

On his mother's side, Dr. Bradley had a private income source from the Crane plumbing supply company. Starting in 1962, he taught writing and public speaking at Kimball Union Academy, a boarding school in Meriden, N.H., as well as at Dartmouth and its business school. He served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives as a Democrat in the 1950s and early 1970s.

His other books included "Robert Frost: A Tribute to the Source" (1979), with photos by Dewitt Jones.

His marriage to Elisabeth "Lilla" McLane-Bradley ended in divorce.

Survivors include his wife, Sally Tucker Smart Bradley, whom he married in 1998, of Norway; six children from his first marriage, Kim Emmons of Norway, Darby Bradley of Calais, Vt., Wendy Morgan of Peacham, Vt., Bronwen Ballou of Hanover and Ben Bradley and Steven Bradley, both of Thetford, Vt.; a stepson, Kevin Smart of Norway; two brothers; 11 grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
