Jim,
Unfortunately, only a few. Wish I had known him better.

What a beauty this one is. Made me get off my butt and buy DR's book. Now seems like a good time for a brief resurgence.

From the book can you determine if CP was my geometry teacher
in Emmett Idaho around 09/1978 to around 02 or 03/1979?

Just read this for the first time-that line from "The View from Deadhorse Point" is haunting. Thanks for such a heartfelt memorial piece DR.

Amy Brennan always said she would put something together from Chuck's memorial in the Tetons. This is really good! Lots of photos of Chuck I had never seen, lots of remembrance.

This is the summer of 1962. Chuck and I were sitting at a table in Camp 4 reading a used newpaper from the Lodge. Chuck took out his pocket knife and neatly cut out an article of a sensational nature, but ridiculous in the way the headline read. I don't recall it, but I asked Chuck, "Why are you cutting that out?". He said that he had a collection of outlandish stories from newpapers to remind him what humanity was like.

I had a wonderful stroll with my dog up/over/around Sehome Hill in Bellingham today looking at the bouldering that a young CP might have played on. There are not many routes but there is plenty to keep someone busy. There did seem to be a third wandering with our party of two...
