Allen, I never saw this before, I guess I had stopped reading "Climbing" magazine by that time (wasn't what it used to be in the old days). Nice picture, nice memoriam.

They really edited it down. It was really funny actually and got full backing from his family. Dave was a riot. Miss having him around and pulling back beers at the Bucksnort with him.
Allan, Very nice remembrance. Wish I'd met Dave (maybe I did).
Wish we'd stayed in touch, Allen.
I bet we pulled back a beer or two at the Bucksnort together, without knowing it - one table away, or near those weird birds on the fireplace mantle? Or doing one arm pull-ups at the pool table?
When Jay and Lori got married, I gave them a silver (fake silver) platter with this engraving:
"Get up at ten, climb 'till noon. Meet me at the Bucksnort Saloon."
We lived up to those expectations on a few occasions.
