Talk:Doris Burn

Awaiting confirmation

 * "She is the daughter of the Swedish-born North Cascades explorer Lage Wernstedt (1878-1959), the first climber to ascend Mount Lago, Washington (in 1926), which is named for him. He also named "Lake Doris" for his daughter."

I'm speculating because I found a reference to a photograph of Wernstedt "from the Dottie (Adele) Wernstedt Graham and Doris Burn Collection" on this page, which mentions that Lake Doris was named after Lage's daughter. Lage's experience with mapping and engineering seem to fit Mrs. Burn's unique cababilities as an illustrator&mdash;and the locale seems right. I've traced Lage's widow to Guemes Island, where Cascades climbing historian Harry Majors interviewed her extensively. I'd like to find a more overt connection before I put it in the article.
