For aging Princetonians, the climb up Mt. Princeton was many things. A chance to renew old friendships and forge new ones. The demonstration of school and class spirit in the run-up to a major reunion. The opportunity to be a part of a team doing something way out of our comfort zones and way beyond what many thought were their physical limits. At our 40th reunion the following May, Al Hanson was talking about organizing another climb. To that point, what is that Japanese proverb about the wise man climbing Mt. Fuji only once?
