In case you didn't know, Craig was ecologically minded. Sometimes to a fault in my opinion. ;) When I ski toured with him, I often brought fresh fruit; bananas, apples, oranges, etc. to snack on. The first time he saw me discard an apple core in an unacceptable manner, I incurred his wrath. I got the classic Craig lecture. I argued that it was organic and that some creature would be STOKED to find it. I refused to pack it out just to get his goat. Craig couldn't abide. He retrieved the core and put it in his pack, pretend grumbling. From that day on, when we toured I made sure to conspicuously leave my apple cores or banana and orange peels on ridge tops for Craig to haul out. It was just a playful thing between us. Much love Craig.
