[Volunteers_fosm] In Memory of Carl Smith

[Bet Gendron]

We are sorry to announce the passing on Sept 7 of Carl Smith, 86, a
long-time friend and sawyer in the Friends of the Sandia Mtns for decades.
In the words of Sam Beard, *” Carl and I were friends and colleagues for
more than 45 years.  We shared our love of the outdoors in the Friends of
the Sandia Mountains and the New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club.  A skilled
photographer, Carl contributed many pictures to my Ski Touring in Northern
New Mexico, and he used his chain saw to remove trees from ski trails in
the Sandia and Jemez Ranger Districts.  We also enjoyed working together
using chainsaws to fell hazard trees, cut logs, and clear meadows in
projects organized by the Friends.”*   A former physicist with Sandia Labs,
Carl was also a climber and an avid mountain biker as well as a road biker
with NM Touring Society.  We all knew his sometimes exacting standards and
we enjoyed hearing of his many world-wide climbing adventures, which he
regaled with old-school amusement, no matter how harrowing it actually
was.  In addition to photographing for Sam’s book, he contributed to Robert
Julyan’s *The Mountains of New Mexico* and others.  Carl was laid up for a
few years in the companionship of his wife, Marilyn.  Please see French
Funerals for the future Memorial Service schedule,
