Anonymous Unregistered	Thank you Bob. The 49-stone memorial is very nice. Finding Kent's boot with the crampon intact... ...that is a heart ripper. Yesterday, I mailed Ilene a booklet of everyone's posts in this thread, complete with the pictures. Thank you everyone -- it made a nice tribute.

In an effort to learn more about him I found this picture that told me all I needed to know. The caption on the picture is father and son doing what they love. He will be missed on this forum. May his family find the comfort they need at this time of loss is my sincere prayer. The caption reads: Mt. Whitney beyond the small Kent Ashcraft memorial cairn. There's a classic Kent photo with him leaning up against the rock where the cairn stands now. Photos: http://piotrowski.smugmug.com SpotCasting: https://maps.findmespot.com/s/9DDZ#history/assets
