To one of the most positive people I know who has been one of my best friends since we first met back in the 60's, I wish you the Happiest of Birthdays! May your dreams keep coming true!

Congrats!!! One more year in the sixties....make the most of it.

Remember when we used to eagerly anticipate birthdays...that morphed into the "oh, another birthday" period which leads to, with a little luck, the "great, i got to another one" stage.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to Guido! I'm sure you will make the most of it!

Here's your name in a Vulgarian Digest as one of the culprits in a legendary Snake River Float.

It seems to me that Guido is a maker of his own dreams.

Early ascents of great climbs, making life long friends of good men, building a structure large enough to build within an amazing sailing vessel, sailing it far far away, raising a daughter on the sea and land, and much more.

A man who knows what he wants and how to get it.


Long may you run, Sir Guido!

I called Guido yesterday twice but no responses, so I figure he's off on some adventure, possibly on the Kings River or out sailing or nursing a HUGE HANGOVER! While he's away, we are free to post more pictures!

BEFORE: About 1970 in the Tetons


AFTER: 2015: In Santa Cruz
