Autographs Although I'm not an autograph hound I do love running into that special person, now and then, that takes time to write me a personal note or signs their book. Anyway, just click on any of the names, below, to see for yourself!

• Amy Goodman on the inside title page to her book, The Exception to the Rulers - She wrote, "We meet again" because I had been at a small meeting and training session with her at KGNU a few years earlier...
• Conger Beasley, Jr. on the inside title page to his book, Sundancers and River Demons Essays on Landscape and Ritual.
• Dave Foreman on the inside title page to his book, EcoDefense - (Edward Abbey had signed the same page, earlier, as I didn't have an Abbey book with me and they were close friends who didn't seem to mind either way!).
• David Roberts on the inside title page to his book, On the Ridge Between Life and Death (A Climbing Life Reexamined) - After an intense interview with me at KGNU on 09-21-2006. He wrote, "For Roger - Thanks for a great interview - David Sept. 2005"

Edward Abbey

Amy Goodman

Dave Foreman

Tom Frost

Royal Robbins

• Edward Abbey on the inside title page to Dave Foreman's book, EcoDefense - because I didn't have an Abbey book with me, at the time, and the two were good friends anyway. Abbey, in the signing note, also mentions my work with Wilderness Defense! at the time. Dave Foreman signed the same page 11 months later, in 1989, chuckling at Abbey having signed his book...
• Jane Wodening on the inside title page to her book, Mountain Woman Tales - Signed at a Colorado QRP Club meeting in Aurora, Colorado on September 10, 1994.
• Jim Ball on the inside title page to his book, Professionalism is for Everyone Five Keys to Being a True Professional. I was in Florida, for management training in 2006, when I first heard Jim speak.
• Layne Kopischka in a note about my order for his book, Cracks Unlimited (A Climbing Guide to Vedauwoo. Okay, his note really wasn't meant to be an autograph by I always enjoyed climbing at Vedawuoo and his book was very helpful! The note is somewhat faded and difficult to scan but you get the idea. Click Here for the cover of his book - kind of interesting because it appears there wasn't enough room to write the complete spelling of "Unlimited" across the cover!
• Mark Winne, author of Closing the Food Gap (Resetting the Table in the Land of Plenty), was a guest on my radio show March 28, 2008
• Royal Robbins on the inside cover page to his book Basic Rockcraft. Royal and Tom Frost (Tom's photo, climbing the Salathe Wall, is on the cover of Royal's book) were at a small lecture at Neptunre Mountaineering (Boulder) on June 15, 1993. Tom signed the cover of Royal's book while Royal autographed the inside cover page for me. At the time, Royal and I were talking about family so in with his autograh he wrote, "For Roger - Two great things: 1 Climbing 2 A family that stays together Forever! Royal Robbins"
• Sir Edmund Hillary signed my flyer at Boulder High School on November 4, 1994. Even at that stage of his life he was tall and impressive but speaking softly to me as we exchanged a few words of greeting to each other. Surprising, to me at the time, was that his speech to the crowd was mostly about his Arctic travels and charity work - it was obvious he was reluctant to spend a lot of time talking about Mt. Everest...
• Stacy Mitchell on the inside cover to Big-Box Swindle (The True Cost of Mega-Retailers and the Fight for America's Independent Businesses). I had the pleasure of recording an interview with Stacy, at KGNU, on November 13, 2006.
• Tom Frost on the lower right-hand side of the cover to Basic Rockcraft by Royal Robbins. Tom and Royal were at a small lecture at Neptunre Mountaineering (Boulder) on June 15, 1993. Tom signed the cover of Royal's book while Royal autographed the inside cover page for me. The books's cover photo is of Tom Frost leading Roof Pitch on Salathe Wall...
