ASHOK VISITS GREAT WALL
Ashok Butani, the Head of the Acquisitions Division for the US Library of Congress Office in New Delhi paid a visit to the Great Wall of China in early September 1998.

In this photo, Mr. Butani waives to onlookers as he prepares to run up to the top of the Great Wall

After completing a fast jog to the top, on his descent, he met his cousin Al Geddis who looks almost identical to Ashok. Ashok is the one with the long pants.

Here is a photo of Ashok and Al resting after climbing the 4 million steps to the top.

After the climb, Mr. Butani and Mr. Geddis were joined by Manfred Huber from Germany.

This is another photo of Ashok fully recovered from his lengthy run to the top

And finally Mr. Butani saying farewell to his freinds at the Great Wall
