46 in Memory of Grace

[Rik]

HERE is a thread describing an event in it's infancy. The basic idea is a repeat of an event that took place 10 years ago to recognize the 60th anniversary of Grace (Matriarch of the 46ers) completing her 46. Next August (8/26/07) with be the 70th anniversary and there is interest in honoring her memory by putting a climber on each of the 46 peaks that day. Please contact me if interested in participating.

Sounds interesting. I'm having lunch with the 46ers Office Manager and Historian tomorrow and will mention it to him and get his take on it. You never know how the various directors and officials are going to feel about something like this. Great idea as far as I'm concerned!

Hi Christine, and everyone,

Here is what I have so far ( as of 10/24/06):

Haystack, Randomscooter
Skylight, Slamdog
Basin, Mavs00
Gothics, C. Tracy
Colden, TFR
Giant, 1Adam12
Nippletop, Arm
Wright, Yvon
Saddleback, Eric
Armstrong, HighonLife (Nancy)
RPR, Dick
Allen, Ajtiv
Big Slide, Rivet
Seward, Joseywalesb
Phelps, Peakbagr
Sawteeth, Ronni (VFTT)
Donaldson, NukedRocket
Emmons, Timmus
Grace, Mike1889
Nye, Neil
MacN, Alpinesummit

As you can see Christine, Allen is "spoken for". I don't see any reason why multiple people can't sign up for the same peak (I'd like to keep this rather informal) but if you want "your own" peak let me know. Should be a fun day.

Doc,
How did that meeting go?

 

[BlackSpruce]

Hough

Ok Hough if you rather.

 

[Doc McPeak]

Doc,
How did that meeting go?

They thought it sounded like fun. As long as someone else organizes it!

I was going to sign up for Hough ... but I'll take Grace's friend Carson Peak (or South Dix ... or Herbert Peak!)

 

[mavs00]

Awesome, we'll add you two to the ever growing list. Nice....... Gonna be fun.

Very Interested

I recently got my "number" and I would love to partcipate in this event. I met Grace once back in 1997 when some people I knew "graduated" and was very impressed. I would love to help honor her. I have no real preference as to assignment- but I am partial to the "trailless" peaks.

I plan to be traveling around the west next summer, but I will definitely make sure that I am in NYS for this.

[bubba]

I love Macomb!! As far as I know, I should be able to keep the weekend open - the only thing that comes to mind is a college freshman starting college - but I think that will be history by then!!

 

[Doc McPeak]

Nice, bubba! The party is at the LBC, and I've reserved you a spot.

 

[woodstrider]

Marshall

I'd be honored to do Marshall.

Just want to bump this so it doesn't get lost. Here are the peaks that remain without takers:

Gray, Basin, Dix, Redfield, Santanoni, Panther,
Tabletop, UWJ, LWJ, Street, Seymour,
Porter, Dial, Blake, Cliff.

If everyone who has signed up could send me a PM or email with your email address I would appreciate it. Eventually, I will be creating a mailing list to send info to climbers.
