Bill Gates,co-founder of Microsoft.Few people know that one of his first best friends, Kent Evans,was killed at17while climbing Mount Shuksan as part of a University of Washington class.He died on May 28,1972.Evans was one of four high school students at Lakewood School who was working on computer projects.Theother three were Gates,Paul Allen and Ric Weiland,who all became billionaires as co-founders of Microsoft.Gates and Evans were the top students in their school and best friends. They worked in the lab during the day and then “talked on the phone all the time,”after school.Evans was even less oriented toward sports than Gates,and “more geeky,”as Gates recalled.And then he took a mountain climbing course.It was kind of this classic Kent thing where he broadened his world view, and he decided that being alittle physical was something that, you know, was valuable.Sohe goes and signs up for a mountain climbing course.And as part of that,when they were practising,he fell and was killed.
