Even without the stories, the stroking seems to continue.
Does this set the 'Standard?'

Hi Marty,
I just saw your museum thread on Supertopo and I must say I am impressed and delighted. You have put together quite a collection. Well done. I am glad that you and others have had the fore site to gather these things together before they disappeared. It seems that a fair amount of climbers don't yet realize the importance of preserving the history. As time goes on that importance will become more obvious. Climbing, unlike many other sports, is not much of a spectator sport and perhaps that is one of the reasons that it often gets overlooked from a historical standpoint. A museum of our sport is needed for a few reasons. As the sport matures, the pioneers and their influence will be essential for climbers to understand the direction climbing has taken and why. Probably even more importantly, a museum will help educate the non-climbing public which is going to become increasingly vital to garnish support for keeping climbing areas open and other land access issues as they arise. Keep on collecting and keep on posting. We will have a great museum some day.
Ken

Great stuff, thanks for posting.
A virtual museum here is in ways better than a physical location. People from all over the world can look and have time to read captions and history. No travel needed. No security guards.

Marty keep seeking the LORD. Allow Him to direct your path, stay strong my brother in CHRIST. Use your Armor that the Lord gives us as belivers. The word of God tells us that the prince of this world has blinded there eyes, so they can not see or understand those that belong to Christ. These are truly the last days in which we live. Be strong in the Lord! Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. Don't let the world get you down. God will give you peace, you have your treasure and rewards waiting for you in the kingdom of God. The devil will try to discourage you and get you tripped up. Always be on guard, you are planting seeds, satan doesn't like that one bit. Be in the word, seek God everyday in prayer and in thanksgiving...Thank you for sharing all the stories and memorabilia. Armando May God keep you and bless you.

HISTORY LESSON VOL 2 - I will post tomorrow morning. Let's see who is the fastest with the correct answers!
ChampionSleeper - I miss you down at the gym! You were always really focused and strong. I still have video plans with you so don't run away yet! I know all is AWESOME in your life!
PYRO - Nice Signatures!!! It's fun to shake the hands of the mutants, young or old!
Chicken Skinner - I have many Bridwell pieces coming your way in time. It didn't matter the cost of getting the stuff from him. I always knew that I am on trusted mission to preserve his gear. Jim is one of the bad boys of Yosemite. I just love him and his family, more than his gear. Keep up the great work at the Yosemite Museum. I am jealous of your fantastic Dolt pieces!. And Stoveleg piton, and, and, and........
asioux - Thanks for the Love. The armor is totally on so no worries! Even mosquitoes don't bother me any more! I believe somewhere in the Bible John said: When God talks to you, YOU DO! And I am obviously doing! Some people have not stepped out of the playground sandbox yet. They still are chucking the sand, even when nobody is there to get hit by it.
Thanks everybody for your great comments!!! I have many many more stories coming, just need some sleep every once and a while.

Wow that was a tough battle getting the History Lesson up onto Supertopo. My son and I battled for 4 hours and still do not know what was happening. He of course mentioned that the lower setting on the camera marked "PC" did not stand for "pretty cruddy." I was shooting photos at billboard size and not Personal Computer size. Yeah for blonndes!
