Dang it Fred...you were an idol for me!
I never climbed a mountain but your achievements were awesome.
I'm sneaking up on your age and can only hope to be as strong and
driven as you were. Thanks for dropping in to my place when you came to Socal. I'm still waiting for the phone call when you get here.
You friend from many years and more to come...rest in peace Fred.
