Thanks for dragging my post over. Ryan, I'll be digging for photos/memories over the coming days... Regards, Hank hankwillisdds@gmail.com

"Considering the number of views (over 5000) this thread has hit, it appears a lot of people are using this forum as a primary means of current information, I know I am." First post here, new member to cascadeclimbers.com I've been reading this over the past week and a half as I grieve for my friend Kevin and his family. Kevin and I had a long friendship. We went to undergrad together, lived on the same floor in the dorms, took many classes together, travelled to Ecuador together... I lived in Seattle and he in Lynden. We would visit eachother often during my 5 years in Seattle. Kevin, Tim Terpstra, and I were up on Mt Rainier 5 or 6 years ago but had to turn back due to weather and my aching hip. Kevin came all the way out to Idaho a year and a half ago to celebrate Thanksgiving with me and my family. Tim et al, I want to thank you for your efforts in locating Kevin. This has been a very difficult time for me as well. The loss of a friend like Kevin hurts more than I imagined. I'm thankful, however, and I take solace in the facts that he was doing what he loved most in the place he loved most, over the years he has been surrounded by friends who love him, and he can now rest safe in the arms of Jesus. Kevin was a Christian brother in the truest sense and I look forward to fellowshipping with him again one day. To Kevin's family: There are people all over the country (and the world) who have been praying for you all. Warm regards, Hank
