Everything I knew about rangering, I learned from this man...a very scary thought! Thom Scheuer was a friend to many, many climbers in the east and was as much a part of the Gunks as the rocks and lichen.
And who could forget the bus that tried to shortcut the switchback at the hairpin turn. The caption in the local paper was titled, "The Precarious Perch".

Rich P ...nice shot of Tom...Kevin was the first person I met in the Gunks and believe Tom was the second. Sunday morning at the Uberfall is not the same without Tom, his NY times and doughnuts.

Yeah Bob...I don't think a day goes by that I don't think about Thom and Kevin. Hope to see you this fall in the Gunks.

This isn't nearly as cool a shot of Ridiculissima as Eric's but it is more historic. Kevin Bein and Vern Clevinger on the first ascent in 1977?
Dana Bartlett and Bill Ravitch on Jack Sh#t,
and Open Cockpit

Bobby, I loved that shot of you on the Fall. What's it like at that point?
Here is a scan of Kevin on the cover of CLIMBING.

Geno...it get easier as you go higher...I think you get in a good 4 RP...fecking Gunks...what a place.
The cover photo of kevin looks just like the one I took...I think the whole crew was out there that day.
Bob Jahn (he freed Doug's Roof) on Comedy in Three Acts.

That's how I remember Open Cockpit, Bob--lots of good face holds off to the right side of the crack. I think I first did it with Mike Freeman in '82 or '83. Great pic.
