Wow - that sounds like you PBob.
As a small side note, I learned something rather interesting recently by way of a strange set of coincidences. I have spent some time at my folks house in Boulder recently (due to some medical problems that my father is having). I was looking out back where I saw a cat duck under the fence between my folks house and the house where my best friend Bob Hritz use to live (Bob died at 19 in an avalanche while he was returning from an ice climb in rocky Mountian National Park). Seeing the cat go over there made me think of Bob. Anyway, my brother Jimmy (who had recently been beat up real bad by some tresspassers in his yard) & I took my Dad on a walk around the court shared by the houses. When we were almost back we walked past Bob's old house just as Jimmy's girlfirend had caught the cat that I had seen earlier. Well, it had turned out that the cat had been missing for two weeks and lived over a mile away - but, it use to live in Bob's old house and somehow found its way back home and had been living in the wild so to speak. So, just as we walked by Bob's house the owner of the cat (from a mile away) and Jimmy's girlfriend met there to exchange the cat. And then the new owner of the house came out. Well here's the strange stuff. Somehow I mentioned that my friend Bob used to live in the house there (35 years ago now). Well, the cat's owner said he grew up with Bob's bother John whom I haven't seen in 35 years - and he still see's John from time to time. And the new owner of the house and his wife were interested in the histtory of Bob's death and the house because they turned out to be climbers. Of course I began to inquire about what kind of stuff they had done and I had a hard time believing was I was hearing. Well it turns out that the new owners of the house are Robyn Erbesfield and Didier Raboutou (you can find info about them all over the internet). Very strange. By the way, Didier said he does stuff with Jon K.
