![]() ![]() Mary and Gene Staley helped with 1940s and 50s Stuart Range history. Lloyd Berry added photographs and text concerning his grandfather’s mining activities Byron Dickinson shared related facts from his knowledge of the area. Marilyn Wilson made available her husband’s photographs from many years of hiking and climbing in the Cascades. Pat Allen shared photographs of his father, and verified stories and assumptions. Woods’ collection of mountain photographs added excellent 1960s-era black and whites, especially of Dale Allen. Cool, and Burr Singleton Jr., who shared many photographs of his father. These included Jean Renfro, the great-granddaughter of A. Many people were gracious in making available family and personal collections of black and white photographs, some go- ing back to the early days of the 20th century. Yvonne Prater offered encouragement over the years. Mark MacKay’s cover and book design added notably to the project, with his professionalism and consummate sense of design. Without Dan, the project would never have developed beyond an elementary phase. Dan O’Connor of Glacier Graphics did preliminary design work, including creating the maps and extensive work with photographs. Sara Pickering of Design Elements scanned dozens of old black and white photographs, often electronically enhancing damaged sections of old prints. Heather Murphy made a number of important suggestions for the text and overall design, as did Cindy Jackson. Tina Rieman helped transcribe early handwritten versions of many chapters, an important phase near the beginning of the project. Alison Jeffries reviewed a number of early chapters. Special thanks go to those who reviewed the entire text, add- ing valuable critiques to style and content: Rick Steigmeyer, Sally Bjorklund, Ed Arnold, Rob Scott and Earl Tilly. Gene Prater, Burr Singleton Sr., Jack Wilson, and my father, Chester Marler Sr., are no longer living, but my memories of our trips remain vivid. I have tried to include those most relevant to the chapters of this book: Rob Scott, Ed Arnold, Don Fager, Bill Prater, David Dahl, Thea Fager, Earl Tilly, Fred Lieberg, Mike Colpitts, Bob Kominski, Del Young, Mark Welch, Chuck Kauffman, Steve Lieberg, Peter Valaas, Bill Asplund, Rusty Thompson, Mike Dull, Peter Houck, Jack Owen, Fred Stanley, Dave Whitmore, Mike Power, and of course, my wife Ann Fink. Some shared experiences described in the following pages, others were on different trips, but all added to my appreciation of the mountain world of the Cascades, Canada and Alaska. The list of others who have traveled with me throughout the Cascades would be long. My wife, Ann, more than any other person, has brought me to see the less obvious, pointing out and naming so many plants, and trying to keep me from rushing past interesting aspects of the natural world in my haste to climb a peak or reach a remote vista. I owe a great deal to friends who have shared mountain trips with me over the years, often helping me see things I might otherwise have not noticed. ![]()
