In December, when I was looking about for a point man to manage my blog in my absence, I turned to my brother-in-law Steve because he’s good with bits and bytes and generous with his time. Little did I know what a good choice I’d made.
If you enjoyed the maps of Aconcagua that gave context to the posts, thank Steve – he created them unasked. He organized posts on the site to make them easy to navigate. Every day he took the short, aborted satellite-phone calls I left on voicemail and stitched them together into one smooth audio delivery. On the weekend of January 20, prior to our summit attempt, Steve spent a fair bit of a vacation
weekend in Tahoe perched in front of a computer with a dribbling Internet connection, making sure the communications went through. This is the kind of guy you want on your side.
Steve, it wouldn’t have happened withoutcha. Hats off to you.
Dave, it was fun doin’ the virtual climb with you and a lot easier to breathe 🙂
