Soldier #2, my "adopted white son," helps MMMMe clamber over, under and around rocks during my first climb to the chimneys at Table Rock, promising me that if I really wanted to get there ( I DID!) he would see to it that I made it. Pushing, pulling, prodding, begging, wheedling, and cajoling (and he probably doesn't even realize he knows HOW to cajole), he kept me moving along the trail.
