A Tribute To Fred Wiggins, by AMC member Ran Glennon:

I met Fred about 40 years ago at an Appalachian Mountain Club function. It could have been at one of our noisy monthly “Climbers’ Night” monthly parties, climbing at Quincy Quarries, a Rock Climbing Training Program or a group trip to some New England crag. He was always reliably the same with his serious initial demeanor and kept a modest profile. But, the quick friendliness and wry sense of humor immediately made him very likable.
