Each of the Mallorys is now wearing a Laurel. The first Crown belongs to Barbara since each Victory is the work of a Mother. Laura,Allen, Adam and Dan - you have made history!!! Our warmest congratulations. M & E

Congratulations to all the Mallory Family for doing what many would have considered impossible! You did it!! Dan, you are the most incredible (and fearless) outdoor leader I have ever met. Barbara, what an incredible (and invaluable) support system you provided for the whole family. Adam, Alan and Laura, I am so proud of you, as fellow Canadians, for doing what you did, it brings tears to my eyes. From now on, when the May 24th weekend rolls around each year, I won't be thinking of Queen Victoria's birthday, I will be remebering how the Mallory family summitted Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, overcoming, not only the physical, but the awesome psychological barriers most of us mortals are bound by. It makes me realize the we, collectively, and individually, can achieve whatever it is we believe in, if we persist. Well done everyone!
Best wishes for a safe trip down the mountain and homeward bound for a well deserved rest ... before the next adventure begins!
Your fans, Ian and Cath-Run

keep on rockin' and GBY!
