Remembering a former colleague

While I was in France, I went to visit the Montriond cemetery where my parents are buried and also the special section where the ashes of my brother ans sister in law have been placed. 

A few days later we stopped by the Morzine cemetery where I wanted to see the spot where my former colleague, Dominique Mollaret, had been buried following his tragic death on the Mont-Blanc mountain. 

I remember that along with the late Henri Marullaz we drove on his jeep to nearby Taninges in order to retrieve the pieces of rock that would constitute the stone work built to honor Dominique. 

That was around October of 1972, some 51 years ago…
