Best thread happening by far.
Too bad it took the loss of one of our greats to make us appreciate things and not fight.

A group of folks I really, really enjoy: Arlan, Jordan Campbell (from the "FartersOnRaju Expedition to Peru"----did I get the name of that peak right, Jordan?), Chris Archer, Sarah Spaulding, some really tall guy who wanted to go to the ... ahem ... "legendary" (???) Blue Parrot restaurant in Louisville, CO, and Allen Hill. (Layton was actually holding up this line of folks who'd had too much red wine.)

And God I'm six foot tall. He didn't shrink that's for certain. Last time I saw the "Big Daddy." Thanks Cam. Give a call when you have some time.

Sheesh! Allen.
I knew he was going to tower over me, so why not accentuate and hunch over to enhance ape index?

"Looks like different tribes."
Indeed. From my deep knowledge of Native Americans I can tell that one is of the Midgetomi people, and the other of the Skyscraypum tribe.

I loved to fish with Layton and took some video of him
reeling one in. I'll see if I can find it... He found a
wood dock float where he could drop his line down a hole in the float,
and then pull fish right up through the hole. They could never
see him, as he relaxed in a chair above.

That same SCUBA tank (couch shot) now sits 2m from me.
I'll think of him when I dive again.
Something we never got to do because of his problems.

Y'all are so fortunate to have known him.
The rest of us are fortunate to have known of him.

Layton has written a number of humorous short stories. In one of them he talked about how he learned to dive in a shallow Colorado lake which only came up to his waist so he had to practice (imagine the sight!) by bending over and sticking his head under water to see what it was like breathing that way with oxygen.

Jan,
remember in the Cracker Barrel when he said that he dove around Guam for 3 or 4 years, and I said, "Wow! Didn't you even come up for air?"
, and when you and Karen started laughing for just a moment he shot me a pissed off look, but then started laughing at himself.

I have to say I was disappointed with that Denver Post piece.
I think some of the worst writers on the planet are newspaper
writers. No matter how accurate you are or how much help you
give them, they will make a load of mistakes. Anyway, that has
been my experience. Maybe I'm too hard on them. Maybe they have
to deal with deadlines....
