And Fluoride Daddy, very astute Tucker Beta!
He's quite a study.

Unfortunately, the same that was said for Tucker cannot be said for Grant and Billy haha. Man, I didn't realize that was Billy at first til I realized that was Grant next to him.
People in very short shorts should not throw rocks at squirrels. Well, unless they really deserve it.

Yeah those short shorts were somethin'. Mr Russell was the king. And what about the rurp on a sling around his neck? how brokeback. With that mustache and hairstyle he's definately CASTRO

Between Cosgrove and Kauk is Too Tall messing around by his van. The green van at thee end is Rudy's van. Shipley's van behind Grant.
Behind Shipleys van you see Tuckers bread truck.

Good to see OE hasn't strayed far from their marketing schematics in several decades. Tiny pink shorts have mercifully evolved on for climbers. But the OE cans pretty much look the same.

Hey Roy,
Nice work, I always thought that you were ahead of your time.
I talked to Dave Paul today and he said that he has some of Shawn's photos and that he has put some on disc. He also mentioned that he has been in touch with Shawn's sister and will be getting more. He said that he would like to hear from you. Email me and I'll send you his info.

Occasionally, Guy's would Indulge in Western Wear.
Kauk did it early on, with his Tony Lamas boots,
Resistol Hat, and Indian Wife.
Bruce Hawkins and Cowboy Roy, Lembert Dome Lot, 1992
My first pair of boots, aside from the red ones I got for Christmas age 4, were purchased used from Wheelers in
Bishop, 1980. I had Green Dot Cat's Paw soles put on. Bob Harrington told me at the time that few Bishop cowboys knew they were saddling up with what was at the time considered a connoiseur edging sole.
Shortly after, say mid 80's, R Walling followed suit after purchasing boots in Juarez as an aspect of forays from Hueco. People would call us on it. He'd devised the standard response "We're not cowboys, we're western wear enthusiasts."
Someone has a picture of Russ, Billy Russel, T Carter, Doug Macdonald, and myself all duded up in chorus line.
We would go Bouldering at the Milks and sometimes bust loose up easy stuff in our boots.
