Patrick Gibbs: Article about base jumpers was well done

Re “A lost brother in Yosemite” (Page A14, June 14): I really enjoyed the article about the Yosemite base jumpers. It was very well written by John Branch of the New York Times. I checked him out on Google and found he had formerly worked at The Fresno Bee and is a Pulitzer Prize winner. You can find more of his work on Google. I will certainly think of Neal Potter when I see the soaring ravens while visiting Yosemite.
