John L J Hart
A brief note should be made of the death last year of John Hart in California at the age of 81. Hart was a former civic leader of Denver, Colorado, and a prominent attorney and mountaineer. He joined the Alpine Club originally in 1930 and, after a break in membership, again in 1955, but had resigned within the past two years. He was President of the American Alpine Club from 1970 to 1973, during which period he negotiated with the Russians for permission for American expeditions to climb in the USSR. From this period on, he travelled extensively in Russia with his wife to further mountaineering interests and increase understanding between the two countries. In his early years, he climbed a great deal in Colorado and the Alps.
