Todd Barbey + Reid Schoenfeld - plus Kneissl Red Stars?


Todd Barbey emailed me on 31st Dec. 2007 with some news and asked me to post the email and this picture.
Todd's news:
  • That he will "try to become a member of the site" - if he can navigate it (he's a "...very basic Mac computer owner").
  • That he plans to ski with Reid in Feb. 2008, now that he has recovered from the below shoulder surgery and two back surgeries in late Oct. and early Nov. 2007.
  • That he has also enjoyed a number of visits with Richard Treadway, through the 90's, including two Aiglonesque Ironhorse bike races in a snowstorm in May of 96 and again in 97.
  • That he he lives in in the mountains of Durango, Colorado with his wife, Bonnie, on their ranch and with 9 horses, three cats and three dogs.

Dear Rebecca,
I thought you might wish to make note of a fun time Reid Schoenfeld and I had at our home in Durango in March of this year. Due to my shoulder surgery I was unable to join him on the slopes, but we did enjoy recalling many adventures during and after Aiglon. Reid graduated in 1966 and I did in 1967. In between us are my 1965 Red Star skis that I bought in accordance with Reid's recommendation then at Aiglon. After all the expeditions I used them on I find a need to keep them as a remembrance of the many character building adventures we had.

Together with our wives we had a lot of fun.

Best Regards,
Todd Barbey
