Jan,
I will be fashionably late to the party. Will fly in from Florida with a girl friend be there the 22nd to the 28th save some red wine for us?
I am looking forward to meeting everyone and swapping some Warren Harding stories and others of the good old days.

Susie-
On the 22nd we will be scattered all over the park but from the 23rd on we will have a group campsite in Hodgedon at Site A until the morning of the 27th. You can find us there and I'm sure there will be plenty of red wine and good stories.

Well, I'm probably not an old timer, and for sure not a Yosemite old timer. But I'll be there anyway.
Those who attend and who knew Jim Baldwin, or have 1960s perspectives on climbing at Squamish and Canadian climbers, may expect a few polite questions.
Bump.

Thank you very much, Jan!
Those of you who knew me back then, please reintroduce your now-selves to me. I'll be hard to miss as the guy with the tall red-head girl at my elbow, Chelsea.
I expect to be very embarrassed in not recognizing people that I once knew well. And there are many others of you that I never met and hope to meet now.
I am still trying to piece together the timetrack of events when there was no calender nearby. So please let me know if you can shed some light.

Mighty Hiker and TomCochrane: I'm looking forward to meeting you at this event; I'll be hard to miss since I'm sharing a site with Jan and Hope. I'm actually a "Boulder old timer" who knew Jan from B4.

I just let Mark Powell know the details. Hopefully, he can make it along with Bonnie Kamps.
It should be a great gathering!

Mighty Hiker-
I hereby pronounce you old enough to attend! I worded it that way because that's how it was presented to the Park Service to get their approval. They are familiar now with the climber's historic reunion formats and approved that. Anyone of any age is welcome however.
Tom-
I suspect all of us will have problems remembering and recognizing each other but name tags are a little dorky. Steve Thompson wrote to say that he remembered you and he and Frank doing something on Reed's but can't remember the details.
Brokedownclimber-
Very diplomatic of you not to mention how many years ago but I'll say it out loud - 45 to be exact. Now how many people get to repeat their road trip of 45 years ago? One of many surprises this year!
Steve-
I would be really happy if both Mark and Bonnie can attend and if Mark can speak. I have just arrived in San Francisco and am in the middle of jet lag, culture shock, and temperature shock at the moment.I emailed Bonnie about the reunion plans but do not have Mark's number.

Steve Thompson!
If you make it to the reunion, we can reminisce doing Redguard in Eldorado 45 years ago, too! Didn't we also do the Bulge?

name tags are a little dorky We had them at the BridwellFest, and it worked OK.
Eric: Some of us plan to stay at Hodgdon (off the 120, just inside the park) on the night of the 20th, then skedaddle into the Valley early on the morning of the 21st, and hope to find something there. It would be more central. The last I heard, Jan had some sort of camping arranged for everything but the night of the 22nd, but that may have changed.
I plan to bring something appropriate to the occasion, from Squamish.
