Bernard Mellet

Biography

Bernard Mellet is a French mountaineer. In 1971, he made the first ascent of the West Pillar of Makalu, reaching the summit on May 23rd alongside Yannick Seigneur. In 1979, he led the French national expedition to K2, a team composed of Maurice Barrard, Pierre Beghin, Jean-Marc Boivin, Dominique Chaix (a physician), Patrick Cordier, Jean Coudray, Xavier Fargeas, Marc Galy, Ivano Ghirardini, Thierry Leroy, Dominique Marchal, Daniel Monaci, Jean-Claude Mosca, and Yannick Seigneur. Reaching the world's second-highest peak, K2, on the Sino-Pakistani border, via its southwest ridge, the most difficult, was the goal Bernard Mellet set for himself after two years of meticulous preparation. It was the last French national expedition. A budget of $3 million, 1,400 porters, 25 tons of equipment, including 850 kg of oxygen... All financed by the remains of the Annapurna treasure and sales of Maurice Herzog's book. To conquer the 8,760 meters of this royal but still untouched route, he selected fourteen men from among the elite of the time. During the expedition, Jean-Marc Boivin took off by hang-glider from Camp IV of K2, at an altitude of 7,600 meters. This feat would ultimately be the only one of this expedition completed in bad weather, at 8,500 meters, and would lay the foundations for high-level mountaineering in the 1980s and 1990s: versatility... This expedition illustrated his role as a leader and organizer in the high mountain world. Bernard Mellet also shared his experience through the book "K2, la victoire suspendue...", published in 1980, in which he explores the challenges and issues of expedition mountaineering. His career is marked by a quest for excellence and a notable contribution to the history of French mountaineering.

René van Vooren

Biography

René van Vooren was the Thespian pseudonym of René Sleeswijk Jr., born in the Dutch metropolis Amsterdam on 21 April 1931 as son of theater producer René Sleeswijk Sr., a stage name assumed to avoid utter confusion. In the 1950s he worked with several Dutch artists, including Tom Manders. In 1966 he joined the duo which made his name, De Mounties, after the death of the previous straight man, Fred Plevier. Although they weren't friends, Piet Bambergen (loud, short and fat) and René Van Vooren privé (tall and distinguished, resulting in an inverted Laurel and Hardy- look) proved a magical comical duo on stage. His theatre successes, all co-starring with Piet Bambergen, included: Drie in de pan (also starring Joke Bruys), Goeie Buren (Rudi Falkenhagen, John Leddy and Diana Dobbelman), Huwelijk in de steigers (Rudi Falkenhagen, Carry Tefsen), Lief zijn voor elkaar and Privé voor twee (Rudi Falkenhagen and Marlies Alcmaer). After Bambergen's death in 1996, René Van Vooren joined Joop van den Ende Producties (Dutch commercial TV), but now as creative producer. His productions included the André van Duin-shows. René died in Blaricum on 25 November 1998.
