Ron & Carma’s 50th Anniversary
Camp Director, “Futon” Ron Smith, and his wife Carma celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows on Thursday during session 1.
Ron and Carma met in the 7th grade, married each other at 19 before Ron shipped off to serve in Vietnam, and have spent many of their anniversaries on the mountain.
Congratulations Ron and Carma – you’re an inspiration to us all!

David Laney finished third in the 2015 UTMB with a time of 21:59:42. The race is around 170 km and 10,000 m of positive altitude change. Just think, that’s like doing four loops of the Big Day!

After over 100 miles, David finished just two minutes behind second place. Amazing considering this was only David’s third attempt at a distance this far.
