Mala

[Lone Wolf]

Thanks for the update, Lone Wolf! Here's a dumb question: if someone did want to go by and visit, is "Mala" the name the hospital will know him by?

I spoke with the switchboard and was told they have more than one Room 204 and can't help me without a real name.

Bob Peoples and I stopped by for a short visit today, and a visit or a card would certainly brighten his day. Thanx Wolf for letting folks know about this.

After reading about Mrs. Baggins surgery, I thought about Mala and am wondering how he is doing.

Wolf. You stated that Mala is a Vietnam Vet. If he not already aware of the Agent Orange presumpative diesease he may want to see if his cancer is one of those listed. If it is, he may be entitled to VA compensation and care if he wants to use the VA.

I was not aware of the Agent Orange Presumpatives and only found out because of a non vet friend of mine. My Prostate Cancer is on the list as are many others. Also, if he was in the Marines and stationed at Camp Lejuene he may want to check out the Toxic water list of about 15 diseases presumed to be caused by the poisoned water there.

just wanted to let y'all know that Mala is ill with cancer. a lot of you know him. he's been around the AT scene for 20+ years. he did a lot of "trail magic" and "angeling" all those years. he's a Nam vet. a good guy. i visited with him today and i asked if he would allow me to post his address so those that want to, could send a card, letter or whatever. he would really like to hear from old and new friends. pray for him

RIP Mala. Not sure I ever met him, but I've heard stories...

[Grampie]

Sorry to hear. May he rest in peace. Now he will be a trail angle forever.

Met Mala many times at the trailhead in Manchester, VT. He kept telling me this was his last year...but every summer Mala would show up again offering assistance to hikers. RIP to one of the real good guys on the AT.

Rest in peace, Mala!

Mala was one of the most helpful people I met on the trail in the early 2000s. Always kind and always friendly. Last time I saw him was a few years ago in Vermont at a trail crossing, still helping out. Never could bring myself to eat one of his green pancakes at Trail Days though!

Go rest high on that mountain Mala, your work here on earth is done..........
