RD, Allen Steck and Conrad Anker
   
 

RD was charming, generous, and very photogenic. His friendships spanned generations of very famous climbers.

Here is a photo I took of him in the summer of 1999 at an event at the MountainLight studio. He was talking with Allen Steck and a very thin Conrad Anker, who had just returned from the north face of Everest and his discovery of Mallory's remains.
