Mail by Runner 153: In Memoriam: Larry Witherbee

The Himalayan Trust notes with deep sadness the passing of Larry Witherbee, a long-time friend and supporter from the USA. 

Larry began visiting Nepal in the early 1980's with Ed before he established the Hillary Foundation USA with a group of friends.
