Yes, I'd like to hear them.
Ed, I PM'ed you. Yes, we should do something.
To tell you the truth, I never met Ian face to face, but I get all emotional when I think of having his ashes on El Cap. We used to laugh and laugh and talk sh#t so I can't be totally reverent, but still, I'll do a vid for all to see but I'll probably cry a bit myself.

Do tell, Ed!
Folks might not know that Ed was a bona fide big wall maven back in the day.
The combined number of El Cap routes climbed by Mark and Ed must be an impressive number.

Michelle, I can't believe the "sheeet" you've been through the last few months. First Chatlie then the Boston Marathon crap with your family there. Your Mom is one tough cookie and the apple doesn't roll far from the tree! I wore my hex necklace when I was up in Yose last week. Hung out a lot at the base of El Cap and gave lots of reflections for Charlie and Paul (another fallen STer)
Thinking of you....and Trevor

I have to bump too, for Charlie (Ian), I lost a sister to the Big C in 2011 and my closest brother May 18. My partner Jennie lost her husband to the Big C in 1990 and then her partner in 2004.
I do have a limited medical background, but I often wonder, if we can expend so much on war and negative issues, why not on cancer research? Or in Jen's case, dementia?
Mr Gill, may you rest in peace.

[photoid=303557] One year ago, that's when Ian was diagnosed with cancer. He has been gone for 6 months. Trevor and I decided to skydive in his honor, and at the same time, give a BIG F-U to cancer!!
