My father, William L.'s grandson, is still living in Colorado and I'm sure would be interested in corresponding with you on family history. If you see this post, please send an email to dhallett@lukmire.com. Maybe we can fill in some of the details of "what they were up to"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198800.post-1164317198760068062006-11-23T14:26:00.000-07:002006-11-23T14:26:00.000-07:00William L.

His uncles, Joseph L. Hallett - who was my grandfather - and Henry W. Hallett also made the big trip to Colorado in the late 1800s and found a bunch of reasons to stay. My father apparently picked up the bug but limited his climbing to the White Mountains - I still have his old AMC guide with most of the peaks checked off... I'm always interested in anything that will expand my understanding of what these guys must have been up to!
