    Photo’s http://zarzycki.org/jurek/Kili/Manjaro.htm Visit the above link to read about the 11 of us and our adventures up Kilimanjaro.

    Kili Team.bmp Greg – The leader. Nice and the most serious guy of us all. Everyone seems perfectly happy delegating all worry to him. He lives in S. Africa and knows Joe.
    Richard – The only non American in our group. He is from Australia, but currently lives in South Africa as a Colgate employee. He is a chemist that knows too much about toothpaste formulations. But has the warmth and friendliness normally associated with the Australians.
    Lyman and Holly – the only couple among us. They have two small children that they left at home. Experienced hikers. Very cheerful and enthusiastic, currently living in S. Africa on Lyman’s assignment from HP.
    Scot – Holly’s childhood friend. He works for Charles Schwab as a broker and worries a lot about everything. He confined in us that he went on a strenuous exercise regiment in preparation for this hike, talked to his priest about his fears of failure and stopped eating leftovers. He is very friendly and easily makes friends.
    Emily – Bubbly girl of 22 who cheered us all up. Very aware of her wonderful self and very anxious to share everything about herself with others.
    Erika – Emily’s cousin. Graduated from BYU in health and fitness related field. Very pretty and most mature of the young people in the group.
    Jen – Jennifer Anderson – somewhat quiet friend of Emily from BYU. Working as a HR specialist. Very thoughtful, pleasant and heart warming.
    Tripp – Jennifer Tripp, called “Tripp” to distinguish her from Jennifer Anderson. Also a graduate of BYU. Above average intelligence and sense of humor. Lives in Kearns Utah and has a very pleasant speech mannerism that I suspected initially to be an accent.
    Dave – the youngest participant.
    Jurek – Great writer of this adventure.
