THE FLAT TOPS ARE HIGH PLATEAU COUNTRY ~10,000', northeast of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in White River National Forest.
Dig out your old White River map or pick one up at a Forest Service visitors center, if you're curious about details.Glenwood Springs is the largest town in the area, a classy resort destination with hot springs hotel and pool; everything you'd want and more. It's about 20 miles further west of the Dotsero Exit on I-70 (coming from Denver). Eagle, Gypsum are smaller towns with gas, groceries, motels east of the Dotsero turn off (on I-70 from Denver). Take Dotsero Exit off I-70. Last I knew, Dotsero had nothing but an exit sign. Head north (right?) at up and along the Colorado River, approx 2 miles, until a left turn onto a gravel road up Deep Creek. Turn should be marked; it's one of the major access roads to the Flat Tops, a popular hunting/ outdoor running amok area. Signs may say Hart Lake or Deep Lake. (If you get to Sweetwater Lake access you've gone too far.) Gravel road climbs steeply above Colorado River Valley, several thousand feet, onto meadows and aspen/pine groves, limestone? cliffs. Approx 15-20 miles of gravel road to National Forest boundary. Road is "all" vehicle, windy, steep, narrow and rather well traveled. Be sure to turn off and enjoy the awesome views at Deep Creek Overlook on the right. (Should be sign to overlook.) If necessary/ helpful, look for or leave messages at Overlook (~9000'), about a mile before Coffee Pot Springs primitive campground. There's been some sort of sign in the parking area. I anticipate camping on the left after the Overlook. (Details below.) Look for simian signs. (banana peels ??) Good, off road camping in aspen groves. Water source/piped spring several miles past Coffee Pot Springs, main road, right side. A couple of formal campsites, one by Deep Lake, further on.

SITE INFO
17 Jul 2002
From: Tcxtwo@aol.com [Terry Courtright, Denver]Jeannie--Terry [Terry's wife! - ed] and I drove up to Coffee Pot Campground yesterday to check it out for the RV. Terry does not think I should take it, but I think it can be done, maybe, slowly. It is a long way up hill. I am hoping Gary or someone could follow me, in case something broke down. There are a couple of things I can do to the RV to make it a little more off roadable. So we'll see.
There was someone in there camping that day but it didn't look like it was being used heavily. Quite a bit of traffic on the road, though. In spite of the fire, the road was open and no restrictions posted concerning travel at this time. It might be worth mentioning, especially for the out of state visitors, that no open fires are permitted, including campfires, charcoal cooking fires, even in grates and barbeques. Plan your meals accordingly. Shouldn't be a problem cause Simians have been using gas stoves from the beginning--right?
And it might be noted that the Dotsero exit has no relavant services, so buy gas, ice, food etc before you get there. Maybe you have said some of this on the website, but I haven't looked at it
lately--I'll go there next! I am thinking I will be there early in the period too, but it may depend a little on Gary's schedule.
See you soon,
TerryJUST EXACTLY WHERE I'd love to camp if possible:
To those who might arrive ahead of me (jeannie):
Not much before you get to Coffee Pot Springs primitive campground (outhouse, dozen sites), there is good off road camping on both sides in the aspen. On the left there's a short turn off into a flat area in the apsen. It opens into several informal/unmarked sites (which may or may not be occupied). However, if you hook back around to the left, through those "sites", bumping over flowers, golpher holes, saplings and grass (I've never had anything but an ordinary, highway car), there's another site, further back I'm most fond of, with an obvious off road leading back to it. It's in a small clump of aspen, right at the base of a low, rocky hill that has a terrific view towards Aspen (the town, as in above photo) and a beautiful valley on the right. (Perhaps there's a more direct road into the spot; I don't remember).
Some of us may want to camp there; others in nearby sites or perhaps at Coffee Pot Springs. We can decide the best central gathering area, maybe fire circle. Far be it from this reluctant Idahoan to tell fellow '60s survivors what to do! Not moi!WHAT IS THERE TO DO?
NOT MUCH except hang out, wander, explore! Breathe, enjoy fall asters and helibore. There are no stores, bars, theaters, amusement parks anywhere around, last I knew. Nada. Just lots of fine country, many pickups driving through. There's always a hunting season open.
You can hike cross country; or there are trailheads. Country is high and open. Lots of meadows.BRING! (suggestions only, of course).
1. BODIES: yourself/buddies
2. SOS stuff-- slides, hand viewer/and or slide projector; Banana Peels, song books, letters, other relics and antiquities, etc.
3. YOUR Favorite FOOD and drink for several days and nights; some to share if you chose. Utensiles/knife/bowl. Water/jugs. Nights will be cold. Refrigeration no problem. Stoves.
4. GEAR. Old (any surviving originals gear?), new, comfy--CAMP CHAIR/table/lantern/candles for hanging out in.
5. SLEEP. Tent/ground cloth/bag/mat, blankets, pillow; flashlight (moon will be heading towards full)
6. FEET. Your favorite hiking shoes/ tennies/ boots/ sandals. SOCKS
7. CLOTHES. Hat, socks, mitts, LONG UNDERWEAR, rain gear. THE FLAT TOPS ARE HIGH ~ 10,000' Cold nights for sure.
8. Pics/articles to share, re family/friends/events. Show and tell you'll wish you'd brought if you don't.
9. CAMERAS, binocs
10. Your ESSENTIALS: ie. mine include: tp/trowel, hammock, garlic/butter, pillow, laptop, matches...
FOR THOSE OF YOU FLYING IN, let "locals" or those driving know what you need. We'll do our best.
Other suggestions? Lemme know, I'll add 'em! jthWHO'S COMING, WHAT VEHICLE, ARRIVAL est. kept as uptodate as possible!

Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 13:39:27 -0700Hi Jeannie and all other assorted Illini cavers and climbers from the 60s
era,The invitation for a gathering in mid-September in the Cololrado Rockies seems to be a great idea, and speaking for both myself and my friend Gaylord, (we were together for our annual meeting on Lake Mendota, Madison Wisconsin last week!) we are both thinking about the possible escape to this camp gathering in Colorado. Still there are problems for both of us in getting this time off. I am just back from a 3-week family vacation to the Midwest (5 of us now, wife Gillian, 18-year-old son, Corey, 15 -year-old daughter, Delia, and 8-year-old daughter Fiona!) and will be teaching on a nearby Indian
reservation here in Tucson during Sept. (Twist my arm and I might find a 4-day weekend!)Gaylord may be starting a new job and it seems he has a hard time escaping over the last so many years from Wisconsin, but when I took him copies of the Jeannie e-mail posts he didn’t say it would be impossible. (Gaylord is still somewhat eccentric and doesn’t read his e-mail or even his snail-mail until it has been around for a month or so—he did say he found a Jeannie letter about the gathering!) I’ll write or call and see if we can twist his arm.
Speaking of Gay, without a doubt the best climber from that era, (he recently fell out of a tree and broke some more ribs!) some of you on this Jeannie-list might like more news:
Gaylord lives in a cottage that he helped move and build on to for his parents, located on the far side of the lake with a view of the University of Wisconsin and the capital dome. Several years ago when I arrived he was behind the controls of a 100-ton back-hoe placing 10-ton boulders to a height of 30 feet to stabilize his bank and save the great oaks from falling into the lake. Today he has beautiful exotic plants growing between the rocks and a pathway down to a new pier and somewhat older skiing boat. Gay and his mother, now 89 always make a great fuss over us when we arrive each summer, unannounced—still Gay has always been there, and he is kind enough to drop everything and spend several days with myself or my family. This year we spent several days water skiing and he was able to get my
sister’s kids and my kids up, and even yours truly up and on two skis. Great until I hit a wave at 30 mph! We also spent a beautiful day boating through the Madison locks to visit several other lakes, bird watching and bar-hopping!Gay has followed his father’s academic career, but a less traditional path. Gay’s father who was also a great friend died several years ago. The University gave his own lab to work in even in his mid-80s and he was able to develop a new medical technology using chaos theory and computers (counting cancer cells in an infected liver). As a graduate-student Gay’s father developed the anti-clotting drug that still saves countless lives and today pays the University 260 million/year in patent rights!
With Gay’s interest in abstract complexity/chaos in math we often spend a few creative hours talking about the limits of what is knowable with the mind looking out at our universe. For my reading this summer as I drove around the country, I read a new book: “Diary of a finite Time in a Finite Space, How the Universe Got Its Spots,” by Janna Levin. (Check her web site at Cambridge University >http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/jl283/index_i.html<) This was a great starting point, and Gay was able to take me through some of his library in the loft of his cottage. He even loaned me 3 of his fathers books, one being: “Complexity, Life at the edge of Chaos” by Roger Lewin—more good reading for the year to come and material to inspire, hopefully, my Native students.
Best to all Illini on this list. (Do we have to use the Great Ape term?)

From: "Robert G Smeaton" <robert_smeaton@lycos.com>Hi Peter, Jeannie and all,
Peter it has been some years (35?) since I've had direct news from your camp. Good to know that you are alive and doing some good math, I hope. (climbing?) (I also note that you picked one day before Sept. 11th to answer Jeannie's note--well, days in Urbana and days before the 11th all seem like our youthful past. Still, I try to keep some contact with the past--yearly get-togethers with Gaylord Campbell in Madison and sometimes meetings with Richard Ely and Norm Pace. My homebase is here in Tucson, and between trips to take my kids to ballet classes, etc. I do get out in the nearby mountains from time to time.
As for the Sept gathering in Colorado, seems like a good idea, but I'm also teaching at that time.Well don't trip-up on the banana skins, and best wishes for all past Midwestern friends!

Dear Jeannie,
At this point we don't yet know whether we will arrive on Sept.13 or 14, but when we do arrive it will be in a 1995 Chevrolet K2500 maroon Pickup with Jayco popup
camper, license MN- BEW 612. Which campground will you be at? I'll keep you posted about our probable arrival date before we leave MN (around 9/9 or 9/10). Did you ever
establish whether or not we would have access to electrical power to operate a slide projector or a VCR and TV? (I do have some ancient film footage converted to videotape
of prehistoric Simians/Yeti carrying out some very primitive simian rituals!). Do you or Terry plan to bring a VCR/TV?? If not I'll just bring slides from the SOS Archives.
Looking forward to our rendezvous! In His Service, FL

Subject: September Simian Showdown...
Date: 03 Jul 2002
From: krunchkaptain@mygfa.orgDear Jeannie,
As we began to contemplate garden harvesting/canning/freezing and other fall activities--including another possible trip to Jerusalem-- we remembered the subject of this email... Actually we thought about it some weeks ago at the beginning of the Colorado fire season when we heard about one of their first fires--near Glenwood Springs!! Do you know where it was and how extensive it was? Hope it wasn't near the September rendezvous place! Are the forests closed to camping in that part of Colorado yet/still? If they are --or might be-- closed by September, do you have contingency plans for the rendezvous place? I would suggest you have several alternative sites farther north in less drought-stricken areas. We can suggest several 'simian' sites in Wyoming, Montana, and British Columbia that would fit the occasion!!! ....
What is your September vacation schedule like? Would you arrive at the rendezvous place before September 14? Could you? Our schedule looks more open before September 14 than after September 18, so that we could probably arrive several days or a week early and rendezvous with you initially. There is so much to share with just you that the September 14-18 time slot may not be long enough to fit in everyone! Let us know what you think about all of these alternatives... We do look forward to
seeing you and all the others! Shalom in Yeshua, CurtP.S. Should we bring along slides from Simian trips and expeditions(and a projector)? Since you didn't list me as a caver also (on the Simian website) I would also bring some slides of our various Simian caving trips to Indiana and New Mexico...

From: krunchkaptain@mygfa.orgDear Jeannie,
Well you were certainly right about a 'shocking voice from the past', but a most pleasant one! It brought back a flood of memories from a distant time and place, almost another world...yes, it WAS another world and another reality. The 'old man' is so long gone I barely remember him at all. Who was
he? Oh, yes, I believe he went by the cryptic but affectionate title of 'FL'; perhaps you remember him much better than I because I was too close to him.
...
Thanks for taking the major effort of beginning to dig up the old names from the distant past and trying to reconnect all of us after these many years!
The idea of a 'simian' reunion/rendezvous in western Colorado this coming September is a wonderful one, even though most of us won't recognize each other (and in more ways than just physically)...I certainly do not know His plans for me and Gretchen for that time, but I just sort of sense He might have us traveling west to old memories in Colorado!
.....With the Love of Messiah Yeshua, Curt

Hi Jeannie!
... We're still locked in winter here in Minnesota, but I've been busy planning the planting I plan to plant come spring! Last fall I quadrupled our second garden (from 30' X 60' to 60' X 120') and have already planned its layout (along with the first garden, which is 25' X 60'). Last summer we planted 6 semi-dwarf apple trees to join 4 other standard-size apple trees already planted. This spring we plan to plant 4 semi-dwarf plum trees, a dwarf sweet cherry tree, a standard sour cherry tree, 12 Nanking cherry bushes, 12 or more raspberry bushes, 50 or more new strawberry plants, plus 10 river birch trees and 20 Colorado blue spruce trees (to fill in more of our windbreak groves). Maybe you should come visit us and help us plant!
We may also start on one of our other projects-- a large greenhouse, so we can keep growing food during the long Minnesota winters...A wind generator will come after that (I hope) and perhaps a partially earth-sheltered cabin. Much to do and little time to do it! Did I tell you that I incorporated a new design of solar wall on my new garage addition? (You can check it out at www.solarwall.com). I plan to build an air-water heat exchanger so I can use the output of the solarwall to pre-heat water for hot water in the summer. I think I will also build an adjustable passive solar water heater for the same purpose. So you can see that I'm having a 'blast' for my retirement!!! Keep in touch! Shalom in Him, CurtP.S. We're planning to have our children & families join us for a get-together in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming in early July. But we also hope we can get to the big Simian reunion in Colorado in Sept.--unless our garden and orchard need us then...!!!

Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 20:46:13 -0700Jeannie,
It is simply wonderful to converse with you and share these pictures. The ones I have sent, the recruiting one is 1965. My sophomore year. Because my Freshman year, was the year I found the outing club. Then the next year I even helped with the recruiting as you can see. The yellow signs are my writing. The picture attached is my favorite of Dick Windecker....
I'm sending two more pictures tonight. There's more after that, all treasures. They survived 38 years and multiple moves around the world. But there they were in a drawer. I am sure I'll find more as I root around some boxes.Cheers. Cynthia

Subject: Brian Fagan
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 18:02:54 -0700Hi Jeannie,
The picture attached is of Dr. Brian Fagan. It was taken in 1965. He was invited to Portland Arch by someone we may or may not have known. All I know is he showed up at our favorite climbing place that day. I sent this picture to Brian yesterday to confirm it was him. Imagine the shock of that out of the blue after 37 years! I asked him who invited him and he said he only vaguely remembered the incident and couldn't remember. This is interesting in that Dr. Fagan has become quite famous
in academic anthropologic circles. See biography at this website.
http://emuseum.mnsu.edu/information/biography/fghij/fagan_brian.html
I have just read his latest book, The Little Ice Age. Interesting.
I thought this would be an interesting bit of trivia. It might have been our group who was teaching him to rappel. I remember to this day him shimmying down that rope yelling, "I'm in the Pepsi Generation.!!"

Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 21:56:01 -0700Hi Jeannie,
Yes, I was an anthropology major, geology minor. I had Brian the year he was in Champaign for South African Archaeology. I read that you were in the LSB Leaky lectures too for Anth 102. In 1968 I got a job with the park service digging Old Fort Union in North Dakota. That was a gas. Then I student taught in Winnetka Public Schools and worked with some Junior High kids at the Koster site in Southern Illinois. I also did a dig with the U of I in Yellow Jacket, CO. in 1968. That's about it for my archaeology career, Indiana Jones-ette. Literally doing nothing more with it after that.
More remarkable pictures coming soon.

Stan is holding a book that reads, Climbing in Colorado, and something with dishwashing simplified on it. Curt has some arrows pointing to his wrinkled clothing, a characteristic. The girl with the long hair has a thumb wound.
Well, there's just a lot in there. I drew this on a chalk board in Curt's physics lab I think. It was there long enough for Paul to come in and draw on it.
More tomorrow, I'm tired because I was up until 2 am looking for these missing pictures. It was driving me kind of crazy.

Subject: Good news, bad news, and Peels
Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2002
From: RWindecker@aol.comHi Jeannie,
The good news is that I will be starting a new job on August 20! That means that the family cash flow will turn positive again. And none too soon. Laura still has a year to go at Bowdoin. My last day at Lucent before being involuntarily retired was July 13, 2001.
The bad news is that because I will have to work, we will not be able to make it to the Simian reunion in Colorado in September. Sorry. And sad also. Maybe next time. But please say Hi from us to everyone. And keep in touch.
And I will send you the scanned copies of the Peels in some following emails. Maybe you can print out some copies for the amusement of the crew. They turned out to be pretty big files, so I don't know if you can put them on the web site. I still haven't gotten to the sorting of my old photographs.
With the new job, who knows when?
The new job is with a small company called OSEC that does systems engineering work under contract for the military. It seems to be identical systems engineering to what I was doing at AT&T and Lucent for 24 years. Just the systems and the customers are a little different. I will be working out of my home, as does my boss-to-be. He lives about a mile away, also in Shrewsbury. I persuaded him to let me start on August 20th so we could have 4 weeks of vacation at the family cottage in Maine before I start. Once I start, I know I will be very busy. He wanted me to start right away. We leave on Monday for Maine.Best regards, and
have fun in September,Dick
P.S. Feel free to pass on this info/email to others, thanks.

Thanks for your note on the Simian reunion September 2002. We would certainly like to come and will do our best. But it is likely we will have the usual problem of not having both time and money at the same time.

Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 23:42:33 EDT
From: RWindecker@aol.com
To: georgefredericks@hotmail.com, heartctr@internetoutlet.netHi George and Jeannie,
I have been organizing and storing old files the past week or so (Still no job, so still doing home maintenance, improvement, and organizing) and came across a folder with copies of several issues of the SOS Banana Peel from 67-69 that it seemed to me you might want to put on the web site.... [ed note: working on posting] The original documents were mimeographed, so the original lettering is blue... (Eventually, I will probably get to organizing old photos as well, but not so far.)
My file also contains a climber's guide to Devil's Lake and some other odds and ends of lesser interest.
By the way, Patti and I took a 10-day vacation in March and went to DC and Northern Virginia where we saw some of the sights we had missed in the past. While there, we spent a nice evening with Nick and Mary Jeanne Carrera who still live in Falls Church. She stopped working at the nearby school several years ago, but Nick is still working for the government. The Arms Control and Disarmament Agency that he worked for got folded into the State Department recently, with the change in administration. Needless to say, the current administration is not big on arms control, and Nick will be 65 well before it comes to an end, even if only 4 years. So he may retire within the next 6 months or so. They are thinking of retiring to the farm in rural Maryland that has been in Mary Jeanne's family. I had told them earlier of the Simians web site and they said they had enjoyed very much taking a look at it.

... trophy blond .... So after that I invested in man's best friend and adopted a 3 year old German Shepherd. Zeke and I are learning how to live with each other. He is getting obedience trained, and I hope to be able to hike with him carrying his own pack. ... He is very sweet, not a growl out of him since I've had him.
That's as far as I get for today. More tomorrow. Hugs, Eric

Hi Jeannie--
Wow--rendezvous time is almost here! If it is still funcional in 2 wks, I'll be driving a '74 Scout (license AG8235), colors: yellow, green and
rust. Saw that Terry C. was thinking that I could provide backup for his RV--actually, I was hoping he could provide backup for ME....
I might also use Carolyn's blue Subaru station wagon (license AAY5990).
Also, would it be OK if I bring my dogs? If they see me heading out with hiking & camping gear without them, they'll never forgive me! [not a good question for this cat--ed meow meow!]See you soon,

Anyway, taking a cue from the website roster, that showed Terry Courtwright living in Aurora, I checked the phone book last night and found a listing--called up, and found that he's been here since 1980--21 yrs being in the same town and not knowing it.

Wanted to report that I finally spotted the elusive Lorrie! Carolyn and I have just returned (Sunday evening) from having dinner with Lorrie and John at a local restaurant. Had a great time reminiscing (and probably boring the tar out of John and Carolyn). Lorrie brought some photos from the
Simian days, as well as of you two on your recent gettogether. We are talking about putting on a classic Simian event, i.e. a slide show, maybe next weekend. Anyway, Lorrie looks great--hard to believe that it's been over 30 yrs since the Simian days.
On the pet front--not only do they have 7 cats--they have added a 7-yr-old black lab into the mix. So now we're talking about doing some doggie hikes, too.

Well, we actually did it: last evening (Sunday) had a Simian-style slide show (not completely authentic, though--no one dumped a beer on the projector...also, no one tried my Metolius rockclimbing trainer) Not only did Lorrie & John attend, but we got Terry Courtwright and his wife (also Terry) over as well. After the initial shock of recognition, we spent time getting reacquainted, before getting into the slides of the trip that Lorrie, Terry and I took in summer '66. Then Terry showed his slides of a couple of the Simian winter climbs in Colorado, as well as a couple of caving trips. Talk about nostalgia....Anyway, hope we can do some outings in the not-too-distant future.

From: "George Fredericks" <george@exatech.com>Hi Jeannie,
Sure. It [website] sounds like a worthwhile project.
The computer was the Illiac IV.
Curt Wagner was a physics grad student. He was working on the three body problem in classical mechanics....
.....
Paul Mantsch was very close to being a Simian. He went on the Ill fated Wind River Expedition even though he is not in the famous Huizinga photograph. But I would say Paul was more of a peripheral Simian. He never poluted his body with anything stronger than whiskey. He got married. He raised kids
and sent them to good colleges and still is a real scientist. Perhaps all this proves that he was not really Simian material.
Ron [Scott] was an even more peripheral Simian. As far as I can remember, he never went on any ill fated death marches or climbed any houses. He just happened to be living on University Avenue when several Simian parties happened. He did do some Simian-like things. I remember one party the night Robert Kennedy was shot. Perhaps it was a Simian party. At least some Simians were there. Ron was plastered. Someone told him what had happened. He looked up in his drunken stupor, understood what had happned and barfed all over the rug. This might almost qualify him as a Simian. Especialy since he did get into outdoor activities later after leaving Illinois. But I don't think many other real Simian's would remember him.
Now for John Conley? We might have to mount an expedition to Afganistan to find out what happened to him. Do you know if he actually graduated from Illinois? If he did perhaps the Alumae Association might have a lead. But given the career path he was on the last time we saw him, it might not be prudent to publish his wherabouts on the web. K
Keep in mind that I run a web server in my office and could host the site...Regards,

To: John Conley <jchinthe@infi.net>Dear John-Lynn,
OK; i gotta minute.
...
Hopefully the sosweb ed will be forgiven; corrections are sought. Curt observed a similar slight-- I'd omitted one of his identities. can hardly remember squat after all these years!! help me. the "new" banana peels are really a blast from the past.
What I do remember is the hilarious humor of the group, particularly JBC's. Delighted to learn time hasn't dimmed yours!! I love Wavy Gravy's: "If you don't have a sense of humor, it just isn't funny".
Perhaps that's why I've dug up the old gang. In many ways those were some of my last carefree laughs. I haven't adjusted to the real world very well. Finding Lorrie mellowed, but every bit as outrageous as ever, a few years ago ~'96, was good for my soul. Finding Smeaton 2 winters ago when I looked up equally lost Tucson cousins, was fun too. Darned if he ain't as low down as ever, tho!
I'm shamed by your list of mountaineering feats! (Yours, Lorrie's, others). I haven't had skis on since Seattle ~'91 I bet. Eek. Of course I still have those early wood skiis from Colorado with the silverettas you put the whole climbing boot in! Might
<By the way, I notice a distinct shortage of personal info about what you've been up to these last thirty years in your correspondence.
With good reason. Unlike most simians, I've muddled along, chronically underachieving I think it's called--all arenas. Pretty boring. Years of tech jobs, environmental activism, and seasonal gigs (FS, BLM, NPS), culminating with assessing Valdez Oil Spill out of Kodiak, (intertwined with years of scirmishes with a rascally AK fisherman). Big city gig/Seattle experience, music, dance, temp jobs, seems to have flipped the switch from analytic/science to the "other" side of brain. went right brained/nonlineal (had to look that up, nat). things I'd long scoffed at began to call.
the holy longing struck as I left Seattle and my buddies and moved inland. Felicitas Goodman calls herself a spiritual anthropologist; me too!
working world retired me when I moved to Boise ~6 yrs ago. abyssmal fit anyhow, that world. yoga (and qigong) turned out to be life and soul saving so that's where I hang out, study, learn and share. More than anyone in their right?/left? mind ever would want to know about anyone is on my website. http://dist.internetoutlet.net/heartctr
Why Idaho? I ask most every day!
As you said, gotta leave some whining and tales for the Flat Tops. Hope you can slip away. Otherwise, I guess we'll have to do it again, perhaps a different time of year, in a couple of years. Sobering thought. Don't think I could harrass and chase folks again for 2 years!! Perhaps another instigator might emerge...
Or, you and yours come to Idaho quick, before all the mountains become a fee zone!

JOHN CONLEY!Subject: Back in Touch!!
Date: Fri, 02 Aug 2002 23:10:39 -0400
From: John Conley <jchinthe@infi.net>Dear Jeannie,
To begin with, "Hi" and thanks for your persistence in tracking us down. I know you'll never believe it, after I truthfully admit that your postcard of 28 July arrived today, but I REALLY DID have the
intention of finally making time this week end to send you a note (What can I say, I'm just not the greatest letter-writer.).Cutting quickly to the bottom line, I'm glad to be back in touch, and have every intention of trying to be there for the reunion in Colorado from 14-18 Sep (Quibbles explained below).
I won't go into all the details of the last thirty years in this note, otherwise I wouldn't have any "tales" to tell in September. The broad overview is as follows:
Lynn and I are still very happily married (25 years!) and essentially living the suburban life with our four dogs (two Bernese Mountain Dogs we brought back from Germany, and two Springer Spaniels), two cats (one from a give-away at K-Mart and the other from a give-away at a Flea Market), and our two birds (a Blue/Gold Macaw and a Quaker Parrot)....
When I got your November letter about the reunion and mentioning the Simian website, I was really excited at the prospect that the Simians had endured all these years and were still alive and well. I went to the website expecting to see what the "current generation" of Simians are up to. It was a bit of a let down to discover that apparently the Simians ceased to exist, and us old folks are all there ever was. That, however, has nothing to do with the fact that I'm excited about seeing many of the old gang. The only fly in the ointment regarding the reunion is my job. As you may know, the government's fiscal year runs from 1 Oct to 1 Oct. That means that in Sep, the government is in a full court press to commit end-of-the-year funds, and so contractors like Raytheon are in a full court scramble to win those end-of-the-year contracts. In my position, I'm expected to be leading the charge to coordinate the efforts to get Raytheon its share of that pie. My definite intention is to be at the reunion. If, however, some really big dollar opportunity pops up that I'm expected to manage, I may be forced to duck the reunion and stay in Washington for the job. My plan now is to take the time off and be in Colorado, but please understand that has to remain "tentative" up til the last minute....
I was pleased to see that the last time I checked the Simian website you had upgraded my status from "parties" to "climber, skier and parties." I'm certainly not ashamed of liking to party, but I think my peak-bagging efforts entitle me to also be listed as a climber. Since we've last communicated (I think), I spent 16 years overseas and managed to make it to Nepal for trekking, including the Everest Base Camp and climbing to the top of circa 19 thousand ft. Kala Patar enroute to the base camp; ice climbed and skied at Mt. Hood in NZ; climbed the highest mountain in Morocco (Mt. Toupkal, circa 13,000); the highest mountain in Germany (Zugspitz); skied at Zermatt; climbed the "easy back ways"
around the Eiger and Jungfrau; joined the Swiss Alpine Club (I always recall Peter Z having the neat pin from the SAC on his sweater); and have done lots of other misc. skiing and peak-bagging in the States and Europe. As the years have passed, I've gotten less and less into taking lots of pictures. As a result, while I generally have the obligatory "I was there" shot from each place, I have fewer and fewer general photos with which to wow the crowd....Well Jeannie, that's probably enough for this note, otherwise what will I have to tell in Sep. By the way, I notice a distinct shortage of personal info about what you've been up to these last thirty years in your correspondence. Unless you're just saving it up for the reunion, I'd love to hear an update on what you've been doing since I last understood you to be working for that oil company and living in
Boulder. It's great to be back in touch, and I'm really looking forward to seeing as many of the old Simian crowd as can make it to the reunion.Love, John and Lynn

CC: Robert Smeaton <robert_smeaton@lycos.com>Wonderful to hear from you.
I'm living in Sebastopol CA, have been since 1993. My wife (Anodea Judith) and I bought a house here in 1999, just before the last real estate runup. Priced out today if we tried to buy. It's quite
wonderful, one of a kind, in the redwood fringe, we love it. Got it at a reasonable price through a bit of excellent timing.I'll give you the short version of the last 30 years. Peggy (now Maggie) and I had three kids: Geoffrey (b. 1971) who now is getting a PhD in seismology at Scripps; Ben (b. 1974) who in graduate school at San Diego State; Catia (Ben's twin) who is on the Renaissance Faire circuit and has no interest in school, a home, or a day job. We divorced in 1978 after a bout of bad craziness on both our parts...
I worked as a consulting geologist with a big firm (Woodward-Clyde Consultants) from 1973 through 1993. Mostly dealt with seismic geology questions: where?, how often?, what magnitude? - that sort of thing. Wonderful work. For the last 14 years I've been more and involved with hazardous waste site investigations. Ugly work, rarely enjoyable, but necessary. Right now I'm an independent contractor - work with various companies on an as-needed basis.
Regarding Paul Boyer, he died years ago of the same thing that killed Steve McQueen (Paul's father called me and told me all about it). He was teaching geology at a small college somewhere as I remember....

Just to let you know that I exist and would really like to come to the

that I must attend at the same time. I have not forgotten the old Illinois
group and still mention the good times I had caving to my present friends

tectonic evolution of the Andean Cordillera gives me frequent opportunities
to visit remote places in the Andes that I only dreamed about as an
undergraduate at Illinois. I also find time to go to the western US and
Alaska. An Andean colleague from Argentina and I hiked to the bottom of the
Grand Canyon last week - it was really hot and I realized I am not as young
as I used to be. I am married to Robert Kay, who is also a professor in
Geological Sciences at Cornell, and we have two grown children: Jennifer, 25
who is doing a PhD in Geological Sciences at the University of Washington in
Seattle, and Alex, 24 who graduated with a Cornell biology degree and now
works for the FDA in Portland. Sorry to miss seeing all of you.
