He lived in my dorm. He told stories of Mt. Ranier and glacier rescues. There was a hero he had there, John Dollymollie (sp) who led rescues. One winter night on a whim Randy, his roomate Bill Rogg and I drove up into the Sierras and snow camped. Coldest night I have spent. I heard much of Calico and his talks with Leakey. The last I saw of Randy was after his major illness from the S. America expedition while he was working on his Phd. So sorry for your loss. My name is Larry Ferrell and now retired living in the Philippines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125074643506150386.post-52800600585619924812017-07-03T06:41:01.705-07:002017-07-03T06:41:01.705-07:00I don't remember you, but I have seen pictures...I don't remember you, but I have seen pictures of you when Randy has commented on your Facebook posts. I am looking forward to seeing you and any other friends that are able to go. My brother Roland and my sister Robin will also be there. Did you ever meet my cousin John? He went to Davis and will be coming for just the 5th and 6th. He and Roland have to leave on the 7th.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547519594920591210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125074643506150386.post-20456602452872907612017-07-02T14:24:30.663-07:002017-07-02T14:24:30.663-07:00Rebecca, I loved reading your comments about Randy...Rebecca, I loved reading your comments about Randy. I was a friend of his since our college days at UC Davis and have many fond recollections of him both there and at Mt. Rainier where I stayed with him for a week one summer before classes started up again at UCD. <br /><br />I will be at the Mountain next week and look forward to meeting you, or meeting again as we probably saw each other when he and Jeanne got married. <br /><br />- Larry TomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06802885547142127685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125074643506150386.post-75758884026575435952017-05-10T12:24:53.915-07:002017-05-10T12:24:53.915-07:00He really overcame a lot of challenges.
