Lowell_Skoog Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Evening of Legends A Celebration of the Life and Achievements of Wolf Bauer Friday, April 9, 2010 Dinner at 6:00 pm, dessert at 7:30 pm Mountaineers Program Center, 7700 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle At 98, Wolf Bauer is the Northwest's most remarkable pioneer of skiing, climbing, mountain rescue, kayaking, and conservation. With co-author Lynn Hyde, Wolf is releasing the book Crags, Eddies, and Rip Rap: The Sound Country Memoirs of Wolf Bauer on April 1. To celebrate the arrival of the book, and to bring together Wolf's friends and admirers, The Mountaineers are hosting an Evening of Legends on April 9. The Whittaker brothers, Jim and Lou, will be on hand along with climbing legend Dee Molenaar. The keynote address will be given by Mountaineers historian Lowell Skoog. A noted conservationist and outdoorsman, Wolf has been a figurehead in the outdoors community since the 1920s. Throughout his life, he has embodied the spirit of The Mountaineers. He not only founded the club's climbing course, but also several other conservation and outdoor activities groups throughout the region. Additionally, Wolf is one of the people who helped create the Mountain Rescue Assocation, a national organization that connects regional rescue groups like our own Seattle Mountain Rescue and Olympic Mountain Rescue. On February 26th of this year, Wolf was honored by the State Legislature for his contributions to mountaineering, kayaking, conservation, and the state parks. If you wish to attend this special evening of wonderful stories, great food and local history, please RSVP through Brown Paper Tickets. The cost for this event is $100/person for dinner, or a $20 contribution for dessert and the book-signing. Please send any questions to Shauna Broady (shaunab AT mountaineers.org).

Hi Jason, Sorry for my slow reply. I just got back from a family vacation during my son's spring break from school. If you register for the dessert portion of the evening, you'll get to hear all the speakers. The Mountaineers announcements didn't make that very clear, unfortunately. Hope to see you there!
