Jimmy's Book - Keep Climbing Mountains
During the initial years of OSAT's existance, Jim Hinkhouse spoke now and then of writing a book about OSAT's beginnings and its unique marriage of recovery and mountaineering. Shortly after retiring from Boeing in 1994, Jim took a course in writing at Bellevue Community College (now Bellevue College), and began outlining his concepts for such a book.
At the time of Jim's death in May, 1995, he had been in contact with possible publishers for the book, and had fully outlined it and written text for nearly one-third of the material he had outlined. The manuscript was dormant for over five years, but after the naming of Hinkhouse Peak in 2000, Jim's son provided a hard-copy of the material to the club. Since March, 2004, the fully drafted portions of the book have been published in the Yodel. Anyone interested in the history of One Step At A Time should begin here.
The following list of links is an index to the Yodel serialization of the portions of Jim's book which he completed. Links are to the .pdf files of the Yodel editions in which chapters of the book have been published. This index is a work in progress, as there are a few additional sections of the book yet to be published.
