I hope you enjoy these newspaper tidbits, several of you have written as I find something on your line. First, Linda, who is on the list, and the Linda mentioned in the article I published yesterday about her mountain-climbing brother wrote ... Mount Whitney is 14,494 feet high; her father would have been 38; her mother 40 and she 9. I'm glad you wrote Linda and I hope Doug enjoys the memories and I bet you remember it well also!
