You know, that's about the first post I've seen you make about your Mom...and it's a neat story! I'm ashamed to admit I had to Google Jim Whittaker...but now I'm impressed.
The guides in the picture would be Whittaker and Unsoeld who climbed Everest with Whittaker, but I don't know which is which.
It probably is the first post. Probably shouldn't have been.
