"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

VernonThe legacy he left and love for Glacier impacted me and challenged me to become a better writer and mountaineer. I regret that I never got to summit a peak with him but he lead me up many peaks through his prose.
Climb On Vernon ... you are missed my friend!
