Don - can't believe it - you've almost caught up with me, and you look - at worst - a middle-aged tiger. I was really touched by your talk at Oakdale. Thanks.

I'm not sure why I missed this thread the first time, but a belated happy birthday to you, sir! The Summit magazine containing your "Dihedral Diary" article is one of the first ones I received, and I still have it. That article set the bar rather high for the quality of climbers' writing.
Thanks for the inspiration your articles -- and the stories handed down to us -- gave to me.

Happy Birthday Don! As simple as a story like this is, I hung onto the words many times over so that I could make them my own.
