Thought some of you on the list would enjoy this! Dallas Morning News, Sept 11, 1952: "Infant Alpinist. San Francisco, Calif. (AP). - Five-year-old Douglas Gorin can rest on his mountain-climbing laurels. He's probably the younest person ever to ascend Mt. Whitney which towers 24,406 feet in the Sierra Nevadas. "Little Doug returned home with his father, Roy, 40, a mountaineering veteran and mother, Mrs. De De Gorin, 39, and sister,Linda Lee, 3. "The whole family climbed Mt. Whitney last week end. They left Whitney Portal Thursday, carrying all their supplies i knapsacks. They camped at Mirror Lake Thursday night, climbed to the summit of Whitney and back Saturday, and returned to Whitney Portal Sunday." Note by Sandi: The numbers on the page are blurry so if I got the altitude or the ages wrong, I apologize and if you'll let me know, I'll make a correcting post later. Doug is the son of Roy Martin Gorin (died 29 Oct 2003) and DeDe Cartwright Gorin (died 12 Dec 1999); from the Gladin Gorin line. DeDe wrote me many times assisting me with this family for which I was always grateful. Sandi Col.
