Murder At 19,000ft (16 Mar 2008)
Monday, June 2nd, 2008
When Chinese soldiers shot and murdered a 17 year old nun near an Himalayan base-camp, only one American guided spoke out; sent an e-mail to the outside world. He was apparently threatened by other mountain guides in the same base camp who were concerned that the Chinese Authorities might be upset that the murder was witnessed, now, by the whole world.
Russell Brice and Henry (Toddfather) Todd apparently, castigated the American guide for informing the outside world… On the 15 / 16 March, 2008 over 100 demonstarters against the Chinese regime, were shot and killed by the Chinese soldiers in Lhasa, the capital of Tibel.

I used to be an avid climber. I grew up in Tucson, Arizona which is surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges. The Catalinas, The Rincons, Picacho Peak and many more.
I am older now with too many injuries to pursue that lifestyle anymore. But I can still read about it and, as I am just now beginning to do, make contact on line with people who actually climb. I can live vicariously through you guys.
I’m beginning my ‘reads’ with fiction and hopefully will continue some online relationships and trade reading material.
See you in the hall.
