That was pretty boring... this one sounds more like what he did at the Mountaineers. The one I saw was in Kane Hall and it was boring as shit. Something about early mining history or something. And then so-and-so of so-and-so mining company climbed so-and-so peak, blah blah blah. I through the thing, but I got my brown CAG signed at the end. It would be cool if he talked about climbing and showed purty pictures. Quote
Dru Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I heard the subject of this talk will be "The Pay Phones of Canada and the American West" Quote
Alpinfox Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Where is that pic of Fred in the phone booth that someone posted a while ago? Quote
Monty_Smith Posted October 31, 2003 Author Posted October 31, 2003 First, let me apologize for screwing up the date - it's Tuesday, Nov 18, not the 17th. Next, let me address the questions people have asked (both are cut/pasted from the original notice) Tickets are $6 in advance and $8 night of the show, available at the Mazamas Clubrooms and at The Mountain Shop (628 NE Broadway, Portland). He will be speaking on “Climbing North America – Alaska to Mexico” including Alaska, Canada, Cascades, Sierras, Wind River, Baja California, and the Desert Southwest. Sorry for any confusion on the date! Monty Smith Mazamas Expedition Committee Chair Quote
