More sad news; I heard today we lost another Ron. RON EAGLE He was a Viet Nam Veteran and long time Dutch Hunter and had several digs. He was also well known among all Dutch Hunters.

Not sure what happened. Wayne T. texted me and told me the news. I assume Bob Schoose or Frank told him.

All these great individuals, the travels in the mountains, the experiences, the friendships, the history of what they have all done and still are doing is mind-boggling. What hits me was how different they were yet in many ways almost identical. the saying special breed is often used, but when it comes to these men, they were a most special breed, with a common goal that bonded them together. They were often adversaries, who after a time came to respect each other through a common love of the Supers and it's history and more times than not, adversaries became friends. A special breed indeed.

I don't want to post the zoom part of this picture . its not a good sight . bleeding from the noise and the left side of the face ...warring a winter coat and dark color shirt .. right arm looks broken..so the question is dose any one know him or know of any one missing from that time span that matches that description ..?

I live in northern up state NY .. and I only know the area of where the picture was taken from I would have to go there and find it again . and that takes time and money and I am getting ready to have knee surgery .. if we can find out if any one is missing that would make it much easier to find out if this is human ...in the picture he is laying to the lower right side of the picture and resting in a some what setting up at a angle about 25 ft away ..I have been scanning pictures and zooming in on things of interest or I would have never realized he was there ..all of my expeditions took place between Nov - Dec and if this is a human he has been there less then two weeks at the time the picture was taken ..I don't want to file a faults report . so I will have to go back and locate the spot where the picture was taken from .. I have about 9 pictures of that area and he shows up in like 6 of the 9 photo ...I can not post the picture with out knowing if this is a human is his family out there ...

I understand but it would be appreciated if you could leave the photos online a little bit longer? I can't be online all the time and not even every day although I try to at least once per day. All I saw was the odd back and forth and your mention of not posting the photo - never saw what ever it was.
