Last Sunday Connie and Jeff were gracious hosts for a reunion of the 1978 Latok 1 team. Thomas Huber flew in from Germany as a special guest. The six hour event was the best smile fest I've attended in quite some time.
From left to right standing....George Lowe, Thomas Huber, Jim Donini, Michael Kennedy.
Jeff Lowe is sitting with the big smile on his face.

I'm not sure "some" needed to be in that sentence. What a wonderful gathering! How could that expedition be almost 40 years ago?
Thanks for sharing the picture, Jim.
