I have really enjoyed your commentary and pictures of Mingma and his family. Mingma was my very competent and helpful Sirdar in 2013. What a great experience for both of you and your families!
Hello Dawes. Thank you for the thoughtful and encouraging letter you sent me over two years ago. I had summited Denali in 2011 at age 59 after being semi-retired from mountaineering. Now I’m back in the race. Much of this I attribute to you and Bill Burke. Thank you again.
Welcome to Costa Mesa, Mingma! We hope to see you around the neighborhood!
Mingma, your friend Bill has always said, “Dreams rooted in the heart are slow to die.” Your dream of coming to America is now a reality.
Namaste,
Rick
This whole thing is just so cool.
Mingma for President!
