We're making a film on the Vagabond during the time period between 1967 to 1977. We've interviewed Bev Clark, Chic Scott, Annie Haston, Larry Ware, the club founder Carol Rankin and several other notables of the era. This month we'll be interviewing Kor, Ted Wilson, and Davie Agnew.
I come to Super Topo wondering if anybody who hangs around here spent time in Leysin during that time. Any story is welcome. The more filmed interviews the better. We're also looking for any archival material relevant to the era.
The film is funded and recently was awarded a Banff Centre Mountain Culture grant.
Thanks so much
Allen

I'll contact Rick Sylvester. He has tons of stories, told in a rather roundabout fashion...meaning he gets side tracked frequently and has to use a GPS to get back on subject. Contact info?

A couple of my classmates from high school worked at Club Vagabond as maids during that time. They had some interesting stories about Dougal, et. al.

What about the widows of Peter Boardman and John Harlin? I'm sure contacting Maria Coffey would get you the emails of both women.

Thanks Jan. I'm not planning to go beyond the Haston era. The film is already out of hand and too big. As for Marilyn Harlin, she's not interested. I've been meaning to contact Maria simply for her insights into grief. I think she's in BC. Anyhow thanks for the suggestions.

Chic Scott (Calgary) may have memories of that era - he was there in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Although like they say about the 1960s, if you can remember it, you may not really have been there.

I've spent two days with Chic last fall in Banff. His interviews are hilarious. Great story teller.
He's also given me all the Eiger Sanction stills to use. Great guy. Thanks though.

Thanks for posting Allen....But the Man won't even allow me a gun purchase let alone leave the country. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, appears to be a philosophy adopted by the Reno PD, Or should I say Reno 911?

Allen, you could also try John Harlin - I think #III? Anyway, he's not hard to find.

Thanks Anders. John is aware of the film. When the idea came to me he was the first person I talked to. I'm planning on getting back in touch with him very soon. Not sure how he'd fit in. He does have a lot of archival material though. I climbed with your brother when I was in high school in the Valley I think in 81. Or was it you?
