Amazing that Russell didn't fall until '26.

No, I didn't take it. It's been around for years. I received this framed copy in sepia tone as a gift from an "old" sweetheart (actually she was considerably younger than me, 19 years younger - them days are gone forever).
Dick Beach (RIP) somehow got hold of a few negatives of Clyde's and produced these very attractive framed portraits. I was lucky to have received this as a birthday gift back in the 80s.

I wanted to name my son Norman Clyde.
But I was out voted one to one.

Don, at 19 years younger she would be 61 and you would be "robbing the cradle" my friend.

This is a great thread. Weirdly, I have a cancelled check signed by Clyde. Given to me in 1989 by the late Dick Beach. Not sure what to do with it other than treasure the memory of both men.

Uh, it's in storage in a folder someplace. Maybe later, Peter. I have piles of stuff like that I need to get to the AAC or the Yosemite outfit that I think Ken Yager runs....

I couldn't find the Clyde check but stumbled on this note from Andre Roch....plus letters from Bonington, Scott, Eric Kohl, Randy Leavitt, Tami Knight, Dave Foreman (EarthFirst!), Sir John Hunt, and oodles of other folks. Man, I need to have a bonfire! Who keeps this kinda junk?

Note from Sir John. He led the first successful expedition to climb some mountain in Asia, I think...
