The best hike I ever did......

[Mats Roing]

Thanks everyone for your responses......

Here are a couple of more photos.....

In the early years our parents took us hiking....this is from somewhere in Norway around 1971. Mom (Elisabeth) in the middle, Hans with the glasses and me with the cat:

As years passed by, hiking with Mom was not so interesting anymore......doubledate hike in 1987. From L to R: Hans, Anna, Madelene and me.

Just getting back on-line after exchanging emails with you last Wednesday, Mats. Fine eulogy and cool photos that say it all; thanks for sharing, my friend.

Just another TR...Mats prowling for the ladies with a heroic Hans working the wing. Does a dude in a wheelchair work as well as a puppy?

A great lesson for all about how to face life head on and look right into the eyes at the toughest it has to offer.
You are very courageous to share this my friend.

Too sweet Mats, really!

Cherish those memories.

That's why I carry a little bit of my sister and my father around with me every day.

Hans was a very fortunate man to have you in his life.
