MY GOOD FRIEND RUSTY AND I LEFT OUR campsite at 4:45 in the inky blackness of the early morning and began our 4,000–foot climb to reach one of the most challenging and coveted summits in Colorado—14,156–foot Maroon Peak.

November 2008 marks the centennial of the By-Law in the Manual of The Mother Church that officially established Christian Science nursing as part of the Church's healing activities.
