As a small boy I remember Richard Fisher postcards on sale in Keswick (English Lake District) in the late 1960s.
Richard is the twin brother of George Fisher, of the famous Keswick climbing shop, and was a stalwart of the local Mountain Rescue team.

Thanks for that Duncan!
So it sounds like Mr Fisher is English and worked in the 1960s possibly a little earlier.
Happy New Year!
All the best to you in the coming year Midori. Share some more memories with us if you would.
Do you recall meeting Sheridan for the first time?
Cheers,
Steve

Sheridan did a wonderful voluptuous lady on my left arm cast resulting from an expanding flake error in 1964. I wish I had a photo, sorry.

Hi Steve.
How are you?
Yes,I never forget his first Impression when I met him for the first time.
Toshio and I visited him from L.A. without an appointment.It took 2days.
When Toshio parked the car in front of his house he came out roaring
"Don't park a car in front of my house."
And he noticed it was Toshio he was very glad.He looked very happy.
We stayed his house for 3days and had a great time.

Sorry about waiting so long to scan these pix. Midori sent them as 3" X 5" prints, and the one which shows Midori is horribly underexposed, and I don't have the tools/skills to improve it much, but I'd be happy to pass the prints on to someone who can do a better job. Haanster? Ed? Anyone?

BooDawg. Thanks for taking the time to scan and post those photos.
Here is my quick attempt to improve the Midori scan, on my Photoshop.
It looks like someone with more Photoshop knowledge than me-----and some more time, could greatly improve this old photo.

Sheridan's brother is a very accomplished climber in his own right and was knocking them back while Sheridan was drawing away.

Hello,
I knew and worked with Sheridan Anderson in San Francisco 1967-1968 when he married Leslie Fairbairn. Leslie was a close friend of my girlfriend, Janelle Andrews. We were witnesses at their wedding, iirc.
Janelle and I moved to Mountain View in 1968, but we remained good friends with the Anderson's and visited occasionally. Then I came back east in 1969 and unfortunately soon lost all contact.
I would be interested in discovering any info about old friends Janelle and Leslie, who would be about 70 now. I'm 76. Any leads or help appreciated.
I'm also willing to share my memories of Sheridan, if anyone is interested. I particularly remember his good humor, that he had a special affection for Yosemite, and was always painting or sketching something artistic. I was sorry to hear that he passed away in 1984.
Thanks,
John Menke
