I said this on the other post, but I love to repeat myself...
Drummond was doing pants-filling shite before many of us could fondle a nut.
A HUGE welcome!

This is wonderful...
My portaledge slowly filled with meltw#ter. Then eventually, I farted, and it was cold air that came out of me. Deep inside the furnace had been turned off, and I was going to die.

Welcome, Ed; I met you once before atop the NA Wall on a snowy October day, and you made a lasting impression on me then as I hope you do here in the future.
Please hang around after your initial post has run it's course on SuperTopo; we can all benefit from your words of wisdom!

"I have always valued my health, but having done so much, I didn’t feel aggrieved when it was diagnosed. I was a tree. I grew, and I cast my shadow. And now it’s time to wind down, and that in itself brings a whole new set of challenges and interests. It has made me focus on getting things right. You don’t get to repeat any day. It’s like making a will. I want to be as open and as authentic as I can about it with anyone who will listen. I want to engage with it, to touch it and feel it with accuracy."-Ed Drummond interview
(from link above)
Wow, good stuff. Bring it on Ed, and another welcome from me.

Hey Ed,
Big Welcome! I always enjoyed our few brief encounters and conversations over the years. Hope all is well with you, from a quote above it sounds like you may be facing some health challenges? And the quote also indicates that you are living with thoughtfulness, clarity and grace as always.

Mr.Drummond, welcome to the taco, I hope we get more of you on these pages.
When I started climbing the FA of Arch was a fresh story, one that amazed and scared me at the same time.
I hope all goes well for you.
thank you

Wow, Edwin Drummond...
One of the few "fauthers" of my time whom I really look up to.
I mean, I'm fond of the Harding, Robbins, Pratt generation too, but it was really the Higgins, Drummond, Smith, Cosgrove characters that really caught my eye and inspired my style.
Welcome Ed, hope you check in from time to time. Would love to read your thoughts. Many questions roaming around in my head too.
