Looking at what Rick Sylvester and his jacket look like in his picture with Don Lauria, I would say #51 (no hat, gray hair, blue outer/gray inner jacket) is Rick Sylvester, #50 (red tropical shirt) is Greg Lee.

Some interesting tidbits I learned this weekend.
Warren did some climbs in the summer of '58 with Wayne and George to see if they could be part of the nose team.
They tried a route to the left of the captain, but couldn't breathe due to all the mist coming off Ribbon Falls. So they moved to Washington Column.
Ellen was engaged to Warren in '58, but Warren was only interested in cars, wine, and climbing...
Warren didn't get permission to miss so much work (surveying for CalTrans) when he went up for the final push. He would have got fired, but with all the publicity they couldn't fire a 'hero'.

Lynne,
In your 'older and famous' post, I think the names that go with the pictures are:
1. Al Steck--whom you identify
2. Don Lauria and Joyce McKim (edited--sorry Joyce)
3. Liz and Royal Robbins--whom you identify
3. Cindy Merry and Ellen Searby
4. Wally Reed talking to Rick Sylvester with Mark Powell and George Withmore shown in the background
5. Chris Jones and Glen Denny

just got the developed film back tonight, but I'm in a crunch to get work done for a presentation tomorrow.
On top of that, I tweaked my back pretty bad at the gym tonight.. don't expect anything posted earlier than tomorrow evening (unless I am unable to work tomorrow).
It was only one roll of B&W entirely shot at the Ahwahnee reception... I did get a few color slide shots in the meadows...

The Sunday "meet-and-greet" in the Ahwahnee Hotel's was pretty slow, mostly signing and picture taking. I shot with natural light with my Nikon FM2N and a Nikkor 50mm f1.4 lens, probably stopped down one, and probably at 1/100s exposures... the film was Fuji Neopan 1600 which is a bit grainy but gives exposure latitude when the light is low. I like the look...
Chris Falkenstein shooting with something a little more modern.
Wayne Merry discussing something in a most enthusiastic way, as usual.
Ellen Searby in a discussion with Jeanette Renneberg.
Al Steck rests his restless soul.
Glenn Denny and his wife with Rick Sylvester
Ellie Hawkins listening.
Jerry Gallwas, Chris Jones and Rick Sylvester in the middle of something.
Peter Haan having fun.
Jess McGahey stopped by too!
Jim Pettigrew, Steve Grossman and Larry Arthur.
The scene...
? and Ken Yeager looking over some future history.
Beryl Knauth delighted over her inscriptions.
Anastasia, Steve and Peter having a conversation, looks like Anastasia is doing all the talking!
Beryl, Roger Derryberry, Joyce McKim and Don Lauria, Roger Breedlove.

Me do all the talking! Especially when I get excited! Naw... Never... (Smiling)
I really need to learn a few meditation tricks before allowing myself out again.
There is such thing as getting too excited.
