vdrummer,
Thank you very much for posting the article on rescuer John Dill. Most of us never get a chance to meet many of the rangers or rescue professionals at Yosemite. It's nice to put a face to one of those dedicated souls ready and willing to show up on the most dire emergencies. Obviously, John is legendary amoungst those professionals but I say that quietly out of respect for his modesty. I guess the best we can do is say "Thanks, John" and be on our way, reserving our best efforts towards avoiding the need for his services.
Jim
