Mount Rainier


In July, Norman and two friends from high school, David Wasser and Kenny Gross, went camping together on Mount Rainier. Kenny, who lives near Seattle, met David and Norman at the Seattle airport, with the car already packed full of camping gear and food. No wives, no kids, just the boys. They hiked, cooked, etc. Norm says it may have been David's first time camping ever. Being the age that they are, they had schedules and so couldn't stay long up on the mountain--a couple of nights.

Among them, the three friends from Plainview, Long Island, have 9 children--7 boys, 2 girls. Most of their children are now older than the guys were when they were hanging out together at John F. Kennedy High School. No divorces in this group. And so far, no Nobel Prizes, and no grandchildren.
