Memories of Family

Favorite Memories from Climbing Fourteeners
George Harvey was my uncle, the older brother of my mother, so if you see a similarity between his interests and mine as to hobbies, you will understand—he had a great deal to do with "raising" me. And if you see a similarity between the names of his widow and my wife, you're right again. He married one of the older sisters in the McCoy family and after the youngest sister of them all had visited Denver a number of times when she and I were both about the right age, we decided to merge the families even closer.
