I think I used to know the guy in the yellow shirt in #4.
What ever happened to Doe? I saw her @ TPR a while back.

Cool shots of Eric Z.! It's crazy how young everyone looks. Pretty sure that's Terry's VW squareback.

Anyone have photos of Charles Cole's engine being rebuilt by Mark Chapman's borther (Wally?) I've heard that was quite an epic.

That was something, for sure. Walter Chapman rebuilt Charles engine in the parking lot dirt.
Yes sir eee, them's were the days. Now modern climbers don't know the difference between a screwdriver and a wench .....

those are killer shots - how 'bout Stretch? What a dude huh? FYI I saw Doe here in Boulder not so long ago - she works (as of a few months ago) nearly across the street from where I live, helping at risk teens - it was amazing running into her at Starbucks.

Yeah Stretch was the man 6'10 in a half inches tall. He had to duck to get into the cafeteria door. He had to duck all doors.
All kinds of girls always came up to him and asked him how's the air/weather up there.
He had that 44 magnum gun under his pillow. He said anyone going to mess with me will have nice hole between his eyes.
Them's were the days, when men knew what a screwdriver was and a wench could be had ......

Stretch once showed me his .44 in Ventura - a Ruger Super Redhawk- when we used to hang out there. We surfed at Silver Strand Oxnard, only time I went there. I think he seriously bailed to like Ohio or some place like that.

Updates and clarifications:
Charles Cole had a Tercel that he never changed the oil in... ever... had like 75000 miles on it... decides to be nice to the engine and changes the oil. Forgot to put the oil cap back on after the change. Drives to the Valley, no oil left by the time he gets there... siezed! HOWIE Chapman rebuilds it in the Camp 4 lot.. the other Chapman (Walter?) is an accountant ( I think) and would knott know a wrench from a trombone.
Stretch: actual Iowa pig farmer... he has pics.... offshore welder for big $$$ when doing the work. Had a size 15 shoe, but a 1" pecker (made that part up.... I think) Real name, Steve Ortner. Had the Stretch Limo parked in camp for months.... some bad station wagon with a plywood sheet covering the entire back portion. He would lay in there like a corpse under the plywood and have us close the tailgate on him at night and then let him out in the morning.... the Tool could shine the flashlight into the the back of the Stretch Limo and see milk crates and climbing gear and dirty laundry.... little did they know that a giant was sleeping just under the false floor with barely enough room to breathe. Once when Tucker was bemoaning his sad and sorry life, Stretch had heard enough of the "I don't want to live" bullshiit.... so he grabs Tucker by the neck and plunges his head into the river and holds him under until it is understood that Tucker in fact wants to live... the giveaway was probably the wild thrashing for air and involuntary writhing by Tucker. Stretch lets him up and then tells him to STFU or he will end it for him right quick style. I think they then went back to drinking beer and talking about big walls or chicks or something...... pretty sure that last tale is true... any witnesses out there? Walt? ooops! He can't make it right now.....

Russ, I was there, did not witness the actual even but drank with those involved after - your retelling of this classic period tale is, as usual, brilliant. Yeah, Iowa, that's it - think he bought a house and stuff. Thanks.

Howie like WTF? Well glad we got that cleared up.
But I love that one and the Tucker STFU or else one. Still too funny!
Then one night when Walt is on one his benders and tells Stretch that he wants to off himself. Stretch hands Walt the 44 magnum and tells Walt do it or STFU.
Walt starts doing that crazy laugh and pushes the gun back to Stretch. Stretch then tells me that it's confirmed that Walt's knott crazy .....
Russ do I have this right?

Sounds right to me Werner... Stretch was always real "giving" to anyone interested in the afterlife. He was a facilitator to those who thought they need "facilitating". As is standard, nobody was really up for meeting the reaper, but if they were, Stretch was the man to help them out of this world.....
