Good stuff, Karen.
I'm curious who's going to take care of his cats.

Great photos Karen - thanks for sharing them. I hope you are taking care of yourself as well. :(
Among the things I'll miss are his humorous discussions about his cats - they always cracked me up!

This is the same story that was posted in the Inland Empire News. It is completely factualy wrong.
Don't they bother to read the written statement from the only eye witness?
Why can't they just say it's still under investigation?

hey there tgt... say, can't folks get them to make a re-traction or an appology over wrongly stated news...?
perhaps you can try and reach the editor... it seems very wrong... in rare cases i have seen folks print an appology... perhaps you could try, as you were there...
if so, best wishes in the endeavor... etc...
*especially since woody had such a long history of having a good name....

Pardon me interrupting this thread,
I would very much appreciate if we could get the actual information on what really happened. Someone could start a new thread please.

Werner,
My concern right now is with all the survivors. We can discuss what happened for the next 30 years and it will never be as important as what we do right now for those that loved him.
I'm working on it, but it isn't easy. I'm not innoculated to the carnage. It isn't my day job.

TGT-- take your time. Bad enough to do that sort of work when you do it all the time. When it's an occasional necessity, and involves folks you know, it's even worse.
I like the photos in the thread-- friends and family and fun.
I didn't even really know the guy, and I'm not keen to see the analysis begin.
Here's one possibility: Maybe, when folks are ready, we could shift the incident analysis over to RC. Woody wasn't a regular there, and it could give some distance.

klk, I disagree, many of Woody's friends like me wanna know what happend and we wanna share what to do better here.
Woody would probably want that too.

Seems to me someone should begin a separate thread for an analysis of what happened on Sunday and leave this open for those who wish to commemorate Woody's life.

hey there port... say, werner made a very polite note about that being done, if possible...
perhaps soon... you all have been very patient...
god bless to you all... as you are climbers and you can near feel the fall yourselves...
:(
edit: i'm sorry all, i just was feeling bad for everyone... those that need to be alone, and those that want to know what happened to their friend..
it all just hurts break's everyones heart... very sorry if i over stepped here... from trying to share a patient note for the ones that need to know more, though all this...
over and out now, as to that duty...
