Daryl Miller is a great friend. He and I worked together in the National Park Service for many years, Daryl as the South District Ranger in Talkeetna, AK, and I at the Alaska Regional Office in Anchorage. In 1997, Daryl invited me on his patrol up Denali; we spent 37 days together on the mountain and formed a friendship which continues to this day. Rather than steal the thunder of the Anchorage Daily News, I am posting the link to a great story about Daryl which appears today, Feb. 8, 2009 on the cover of the paper. Craig Medred has done a wonderful job capturing Daryl, including a number of fascinating video clips embedded in the article. Just sit down and read it:
