As a teenager in 1966, I read the Graphic newspaper report on Captain Ishoof's Ayanganna historic climb.

My condolence to his family.

So the rumor was true.

He was a product of QC and QC Cadets. He put me in detention quite a few times, because we youngsters would pass by and sneeze "ashoof".

RIP.
