Hi, Mike -

Dr. Ormes was a professor at my Alma Mater, (The) Colorado College in Colorado Springs,
founded by General Wm. Jackson Palmer in the late 1870's. Dr. Ormes enjoyed leading
groups of students on hikes, often on old railroad grades in the Pike's Peak area; I recall
one in particular on a Sunday afternoon in Autumn on the way to Cripple Creek.

"Doc" Stabler, Ed's dad, was also one of our professors, and I seem to remember Ed mentioning going on some of Bob Orme's hikes as well.

- Russo
