I put this check in the mail last week, $900 in all, and sent it off to the Bridwell family. I'm hoping that our efforts go a little distance toward helping out. Thank you to everyone who contributed time, patience, and some greenbacks to the project.
If you haven't checked out the latest copy of Alpinist yet, do so. There's a little piece in the "Off Belay" section that I wrote about the project. I'm pretty psyched on how it turned out. Thanks to Michael Kennedy, Katie Ives, and Erik Lambert for their editorial assistance--most of it was written in Cambodia and Patagonia over the past year.
