There is no doubt in my mind that having a photo makes the narrative far more compelling....tho reading Doug's epics and knowing about his illnesses means we had a persona we knew by name.... >>> Yeah, and sorry to the list if I went on about that illness too much -- especially if out of the context of paddling and/or was off topic. You all are a patient bunch, really. Having said that, if anyone wants to see a picture of my leg after debridement, let me know BACK CHANNEL. I think this kind of stuff is really cool, being a medical adjudicator who looks at this stuff all day. <snip> <<< sandy kramer who was fortunate that Doug sent her a photo 2-3 years ago...I believe it was taken shortly after his "storm" paddle...so I did have a vague idea of what he looked like. gotta spend more time reviewing Who's Who. >>> I enjoy reading over the Who's Who every year or two, as a reminder. Having pictures is kind of neat too, though as a society we place far too much importance to looks and exterior considerations. But, as no one ever looks like you imagine them to be (at first Sandy thought I was some huge hunk) it is sort of nice to have the pics on the Who's Who list. So, thanks to PeterO. It _is_ kinda cool actually meeting fellow PW'ers in person. Meeting Matt B for the first time is a total trip. Hank from Lightning Paddles was another high-water mark for me (at a symposium; though he hasn't been around on the list for a while). Now, if I can just get over to the San Juans at the end of July, I'll get to meet a bunch more PW'ers. And they will get to meet me. That...could be embarassing.
