Celebrating a 75th Birthday in the Adirondacks



Roger is the guy that hired me almost 30 years ago. Yesterday he turned 75 - still fit and bagging peaks - however over the weekend we had almost 100 people turn up for some portion or other of his birthday celebration. The first part of this special day was his traditional hike up Cascade - 2.5 miles and 2000' of climbing - he has done it almost 250 times during his life-time. As you can see from the enclosed picture the weather was dreary. Later in the evening we had a sit-down dinner fro 65, and he non-chalantly blew out all 76 candles (one for good luck).

All Fossils should only hope to age so well.
