53 years ago yesterday Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first to summit Mount Everest. Last week one of my old climbing partners, Bruce Parker, summated Mount Everest completing his goal to climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. We did two of them together--Mount McKinley and Kilimanjaro. This photo is of us on McKinley--he is in red, I am in yellow. Congratulations Bruce!!!

Thanks, Scott, for mentioning this on your blog, and for your comments on mine. Bruce will be home sometime this week and we'll be sure to let you know if he does a slide show or anything. Hope you and your family are well and happy.
