More on 4WheelBob's White Mountain Hike

Thanks to Tom Mangan’s participation as a member of the Bob’s support crew, the San Jose Mercury News was able to put together a nice story about 4WheelBob’s hike to the top of 14,000’+ White Mountain. Tom’s links are below:

• Mercury News profiles 4WheelBob
• Mike Cassidy talked to Bob this week and the story ended up on today’s front page.
• Tom’s sidebar. Summation: it never felt so good to be proved wrong.

An excerpt from the second link:

Coomber, 52, who lives in Livermore, is not one for the overly dramatic. As we talked in the office building where he works for Wells Fargo’s auto financing division, Coomber explained that he wasn’t out to make some profound statement about overcoming adversity.

“To me,” he said, “it’s just doing what I do.”

And that is quite a statement, in my view.
