Here are a couple of pictures with my daughter, Samantha, from the summit of Kilimanjaro – the highest point on the continent of Africa. We reached the summit at 6:50 a.m. on June 10. I took a few days off between URI-related trips to Cape Verde and India to make the climb.
Allow me to share a couple of reflections on the climb. There was a lot about the climb that I will always remember and treasure, but far beyond the beauty of the mountain and the challenge of the climb, the most important thing was the time I got to spend with Samantha. On Father’s Day nothing means more to me than I the time I have shared with Samantha and with my son, Chris.
I wish all of our URI dads a great day.
