In<br />
Memoriam<br />
Dr. Robert<br />
Mayo Failing<br />
(1928–2018)<br />
CAMA fondly remembers our long-time Board<br />
member and past President, Dr. Robert Failing, who<br />
passed away last month.<br />
Dr. Failing found time apart from his busy career<br />
as a prominent member of Santa Barbara Cottage<br />
Hospital’s pathology department to serve on the<br />
CAMA Board for 29 years from 1969 to 1997.<br />
He served as <strong>CAMA's</strong> Vice President for nine years<br />
and for two years as President during the 1978/79<br />
and 1979/80 seasons.<br />
Everyone who knew him will remember him for his<br />
keen intelligence, storytelling wit and astonishing<br />
mountaineering accomplishments.<br />
Over the span of 18 years beginning at age 49<br />
he was the ninth person on record to have reached<br />
the summits of all 50 states in the USA, and reached<br />
the top of six continents, in the process scaling the<br />
highest points of over 45 countries.<br />
Dr. Failing's<br />
Horn Concerto<br />
During his active summer<br />
trips to Europe during<br />
the Cold War years, longtime<br />
CAMA Board member<br />
Dr. Robert M. Failing mixed<br />
classical concert attending<br />
with “peak bagging,”<br />
including ascents of three<br />
of Switzerland’s mightiest.<br />
Failing wrote that his “Swiss<br />
three-movement triplehorn<br />
concerto premiered<br />
in Zermatt. Breithorn, the<br />
first movement, was light<br />
and harmonic. The second<br />
movement, Mettelhorn, was<br />
strong but a little metallic<br />
and dissonant. The concerto<br />
reached the top, climbing to<br />
a booming, melodic third and<br />
final Matterhorn movement.”<br />
He will be greatly missed by everyone in the<br />
CAMA family.<br />
