I always thought these four pictures had alot of historical value.
They are from the dedication for Camp 4 as a historical site.
Some day these will be in Chicken Skinners museum.
Some one should put names to all these faces before Werner gets Alzhimer,s.
I see Harding, Pratt, Allen Steck, Rowell,Tom Frost, Don Lauria, Rob Muir,,, Oli??
Bacher, Croft, Chongo, Kauk, and Ken Yeager..
Help me fill in the blank's.

In the second picture from the top, is that Jim Donini and Robbins standing on the left? Could the guy in the white hat be Henry Barber, and the guy crouching in front of him, Kim Schmitz? Chouinard is between Steck and Frost in the front row.

I see the resemblance to Sheridan Anderson, but he passed away in 1984 according to Wiki. I found a recent pic of Barber, and I agree the guy in the white hat could not be him.

Harding still had that intense stare. Looks like he,s ready to kick somebody,s ass... is Steve Roper in there somewhere?
Pratt looks completly serene.

Roper is in the first and second pictures, top row. He is wearing glasses, to the right of Denny, up and right of Chuck and up and left of Galen. (I don't recognize the guy just to the right, with the white hat.) Steve is also in approximately in the same position in the second photo.
Chuck was probably drunk, looking to get laid. Okay, serenely drunk if we are trying to maintain airs.

I don't know who the two guys in white hats are. Allan died in 1997 and I think these pictures were taken in 99.
The guy in the white hat who is between Roper and Rowell in the first picture and between Roper and Denny in the second picture might be Dick Erb. Anyone know if Erb was there?

I think that is Ed Barry by Ron.
Note Tom Frost has the biggest smile in the group, and Leavitt's forearms seem smaller on film.
Bev Johnson is not in the pic, she died in a helicopter crash while skiing.

Good catch Peter.
I am struggling with lots of the climbers in the 'younger' two photos.
In picture 3,
1. Who are the folks between Chapman and Hechtel?
2. Who is the guy without the shirt between Mike White and Ken Yager?
3. Who is the guy between Barry and Corbet, between Corbert and Bachar, and to the left of Cashner? (Of the named persons, I only know Barry and John)
4. Who is the guy with in the middle with the white button shirt?
In picture one, is the guy in the back row, between Galen and Allen, Chuck Kroger?

You know Peter that is sort of a sore point.
Bridwell and I both sent in our applications, plus the cash, and the pictures, and the surety bonds, and curriculum vitae, and we waited and waited and waited. No reply.
So finally, Jim calls and is told that they don't have room for us. You know good a sweet talker Jim is, so he gets Layton in as long as he forfeits the deposit. Jim’s plan was to take Layton’s place at the last minute, since he looks so young and all. (But then he forgot and Layton went anyway.)
After Jim tells me what happened, I call up and get the hemming and hawing. I think about using Jim’s ploy of offering up my daughter as a stand in. Thankfully I remember what it was like in Camp 4 and think better of it, given my commitment to protect my kids.
Finally, they just came right out and tell me that they were afraid that the dignity of the ceremony--necessary for the historical status--would be lost if I showed and 'I didn’t want that on my shoulders, did I?"
Well of course not.
Anyway, I figured that it would be a drag and they would not let me and Steve and Chuck get drunk and try to make Royal be serious and TM laugh, so I stayed at home.
Mowed the grass.
Bought the video when it came out.
Regretted it ever since.
