Many of you know Fred, High Traverse, from ST.
He recently had a cardiac arrest while in the back country and was airlifted out to Reno and immediate open heart surgery.
He's home and on the mend now and expected to have an excellent recovery.
Fred is one of the dearest and most gracious men I know on ST and I always hold he and his family close to my heart.
May be heal quickly and fully!
All our love and thoughts to you Fred.

Aw, Fred.
Here's to a different way of life from now on.
We are exactly the same age.
You don't smoke and I can't ski.
What will become of you and me?
HT gave me a lift up to Facelift last September
and is a perfect gent and a safe driver.
He also volunteered to run the Tuolumne campsite for Facelift.
Here's H and HT last fall.

High Traverse is one of the voices of civil and intelligent discourse on the Taco. Glad we didn't lose him. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Fred. I look forward to meeting you someday.
