For those of you who have hiked the MST (PA), will be sad when you hear the news that Tom Thwales (The one who made the trail what it is.) passed away Christmas morning. I meet him many time on the KTA's meetings. He was a leader in hiking field. Happy trails Tom! You will be missed.

I'm in Ohio now but from PA originally. I'm sorry to hear about his passing, we have some amazing folks to thank for the trails we have today.

No disrespect, but do you mean Tom Thwaites, the author of The '50 hikes...' series? I've collected many of his book over the past few decades. I am sorry to hear this. My condolences to his loved ones.
