Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: For: Ron Rice. Thanks again for more of the original Camp History. I do enjoy reading your comments. About half of the names you keep mentioning, I've heard of before, but there I many that I haven't. Can you tell me more information about "Pappy Hudson"? Thanks...Joe |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Thanks for clarifying the Fla Rappelling story Al. That's even worse yet. I can attribute a lot to a power failure, but to know that Ranger reached the end of the rope then slid through and kept on falling until impact and death is incredible. Where was the rappell masters "eye's" on that one? Where was the safety knot on the end of the ropes? Thats a classic underscore about Cadre vigilance and dedication to Ranger Student safety that we in the Mountain Camp have stressed for over 50 years. That truly is an unforgiveable incident. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Cathy Beck Message: Ross Hall, I enjoyed reading "Mountain Ranger". I love hearing those old stories from the Rangers. It was also an honor that you gave me a chapter in the book among all the greats, thanks. Sharon, you are an awesome photographer and the pics you took for the book captured the intensity of training. Like I told you before, you should be an "honorary Rangerette", no disrespect intented. |
