Dick Whittingham
Dear Alex
I am sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I was going through some photos and found one with Dick and your mother in Quito in 1984.
We were there on a climbing expedition and your parents showed us such brilliant hospitality. We were completely broke and I think your Mum even gave me a pair of shoes of yours to travel home in!
It was a brief encounter of a few weeks - Dick trekked to our base camp with Alan Millar a local climber - Great days and great memories - I was luck to meet Dick - clearly an inspirational and great man. RIP
Best wishes
Mark
