Rock climber and author Todd Skinner died today. Why is this GP news? Some of you who went to Convergence a few years ago will remember that he was a keynote speaker at Convergence 2004 at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando.   
Todd wrote the book “[Beyond the Summit](http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Beyond%20the%20summit&tag=polinofamilywebs&index=books&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325)” and had a line out the door for book signing at Convergence. He was a great motivational speaker and it’s a great book. But you’ll come away convinced he was crazy. Crazy in a Crocodile Hunter kinda way.
