When supplies ran short, Princess Grace herself would traipse off to a nearby grocery. The night she attended a posh art show, Daddy went to the circus-and the youngsters stayed home nursing colds...

The twins spent college summers guiding footsore tourists up the steep slopes of 14,408-ft. Mount Rainier; in all, they scaled Rainier something like 70 times. Three years ago, Jim and Lou were members of an ill-fated expedition that got stranded for four days on Alaska's 20,320-ft.
