Username is a combo of two of my degrees - Berkeley PhD, CU master's.

As far as sports go, I'm a Buff through and through; been a CU fan since I was a kid.

Avatar is my first (and still favorite) 14er.

Not much inspiration in my user name: taught math for 37 years
at the University of Oklahoma. My avatar picture was taken back
in 2007 on my first hike up to Hallett Peak in RMNP (which at the
time I thought was quite an accomplishment until I got on 14ers.com
and saw what most of you folks do!).

Chose YukonRon for the wilderness.
It also was a better choice than MoRon.

I chose XterraRob because my name is Rob and an Xterra was what I was driving when I met my husband, 12ersRule.

LuLu was my dogs name! She’s since past away, but we shared 32 summits together before they got to be too difficult for her!
