    Originally a Seattle-based part of the Mazamas, a Portland based group founded in 1894, The Mountaineers formed their own branch shortly after the 1906 Mazamas Mount Baker expedition and dubbed themselves "The Mountaineers" with 110 charter members. The Mountaineers played a pivotal role in the growth of the greater outdoor community in the Pacific Northwest. Many of today's recreational resources came from actions and activities of early Mountaineers members, including the creation of trails, wilderness areas, and national parks. Our members were also critical in the development of alpine skiing in the Cascades, climbing courses in the U.S., and founding the national Mountain Rescue Association. BTW, Plymouth Congregational Church still in downtown Seattle today.

    That was a fun ride! I have a couple of the Speedball textbooks, and have often marveled at George’s facility. It was great to learn about him as a person, and to get a glimpse into his professional life. Well done.

    I'm in my 70's and my father was a painter/decorator with a small crew... Every time he got new trucks this local sign writer came to our house with his early Cadillac full of gear and paint...my old man use to tell me to NOT TALK to the guy as he was being paid for a sign only. I'd sit on an old wood soft drink box and be amazed. In college I studied Fine Art and my father wasn't impressed, until he saw a 4 story (about 42 feet) building mural that I made over $30,000 profit...this guy is amazing and love his story.

    I did a bit of signwriting when I was younger, I lettered the lorries of the coal merchants I worked for during my 17 years as coal man, or the odd shop front, but I just just didn't have an artistic eye, just basic lettering nothing fancy , also I was terrified of heights and couldn't work off a ladder haha.

    I love you Barbara, you are such a special person to me. We came from the same background our mothers arranging for us to do the 3 year Technical College course. I loved working with a brush, hard to explain the feeling. My life went in another direction however as lifelong friends I am so proud of you, this video is really something. We have another thing in common. Cheap "shits." I silk screened 60 and they went into 3 windows. Now we realise how important the "R" really was. Keep up the good work and keep hand lettering alive. Love Sylvia xx
