Rob Jansen Memorial Event (RJansen77)
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2012 5:54 pm
As many of you know, our good friend Rob Jansen (RJansen77) was killed in a rockslide on Hagerman Peak on August 25th. A talented and absurdly fast hiker and climber, Rob was also a fixture on this forum and considered many 14ers.com members to be among his closest friends. We will be holding a memorial service in his honor, followed by a reception in the Washington Park area of Denver. His father reiterated to me on multiple occasions that he wanted as many people as possible from the climbing community to be at the service. I know Rob's family would appreciate a strong 14ers.com presence greatly and look forward to meeting his friends. If you can't make it due to the Fall Gathering, be sure to raise a Dale's for Rob at the summit!
Saturday, September 22
Memorial at Cheesman Park (At the picnic shelter)
5:00 PM-6:00 PM
Reception at Washington Park Grille
6:00 PM-10:00 PM (or later)
Please post on this thread (don't PM) if you intend to come so I can get some idea of head count. Remember, the more the merrier! Also, if you can only make the service or reception, that's fine. We're flexible, but I do need to give the bar an approximate head count by the middle of next week.
EDIT: BenFromTheEast thinks it's unclear that Rob's family will be there. They will be.
