Magnificent, Doug!
I never got to meet Pratt, but, as Russ put it at the time, "he truly climbed the wide with pride!"
Hope to meet you one of these days, Doug, maybe at a wide Wednesday @Scuffy's but any time would be fine, life is short.

Outstanding Doug. I didn't know Chuck Pratt, I've only met you a couple of times (perhaps more at Indian Rock) and Smoke I only knew from the week course I took at Palisades School Of Mountaineering. But all of you are an inspiration.

A little souvenir from that momentous day at the Climbers Ranch, you can tell it has been authenticated by the red wine stains. Pratt would have been proud.

I've sometimes thought that someone ought to write a book on Pratt.
You, Doug, seemed like a candidate, or Roper or Ament.
I even thought of trying to write one myself. Maybe the fact that no book has appeared shows that you all understood Pratt better than me.

Doug, you well know my feelings about Pratt. But I might add that you too are one of the finest people any of us has met.

how can we appropriately say thankyou doug? it may qualify as a remembrance, but i, though i got to tip a few with him in moose, consider it an introduction. would that we all have such a friend as you, that we not go darkly.
