The Zep Commandos were a close knit family for 2 or 3 years until we began to cultivate some local Colorado born and bred talent. The addition of Commando Bob opened a whole new field of candidates for membership amongst his circle of friends.
The woman who forced me to learn how to cook, Susan Hawks, was a co-worker of mine that worked the same graveyard shift as Computer Assistants at Ma Bell and became instrumental (accidentally) in the growth of the Commandos.
As Susan and I became friends and my culinary talents grew from Cup of Soup to Scrambled Eggs with Toast, I eventually was invited to a party that she and her room mates at the time had one weekend.
It was right around the time that I got accepted to PBT (Programmer Basic Training that I met Susan's boyfriend at the time who was none other than Bob. He had also been accepted for PBT and would be attending the class before mine and with that in common we talked for awhile and found that we had a mutual love of hiking and camping. The addition of Commando Bob opened a whole new field of candidates for membership from his circle of friends.
Sometime after we both had graduated from PBT, at another party, and made plans to do a camping trip to Long's Peak. We had both wanted to climb a 14er and since Long's is right on the Front Range we thought it would be the best to start with. It wasn't, but it was the first.
