He lives in NM in the summers and has a house in Baja next to the NOLS branch down there for winters. He "discovered" NOLS baja, so it's pretty cool to walk the beaches with him and hear stories from the old days. I had a chance to share some birthday cake with him on his 70th birthday a few years back, and he entertained me for hours with stories of he and Paul training soldiers to survive in the Alutians, starting COBS and later NOLS with Paul. Amazing fella. Great story Lou, it too bad that the marble base is for sale, lots of history and memories there I'm sure. Tap is still around and doing well.

I just today discovered this site and was shocked to learn that the Marble base camp was for sale two years ago! Has it sold? I can't help hoping not. My course was the old Teacher Practicum in June of 1979. Leslie Emerson was director of the four patrols that made up the course, and Ron Gager was my patrol instructor. They were superb! I'll be grateful if someone can and will send me their addresses, for I'd like to tell them that after 31 years the course and their leadership are still vivid in positive and wonderful ways. Willi's Rock, Mount Ritchie, the Meadow Mountain Traverse, Snowmass, and on and on. Thanks, OB! January 7, 2011.
