Hi again!! This picture is Dr. Murad Lala...a specialist from India who was on the rope ahead of me as we were climbing Island Peak...an amazing and comforting person...who stayed with me until I heard the swirling helicopter blades and felt the wind ice crystals on my face and knew I was going to get out of there!! He wanted to come down with me...as he had been taking great care of me while up there. As I am speaking.....he is back in the Khumbu....climbing Mt. Everest....up at Camp 2 now..
