:-? ................
Dear Friends of the Appalachian Trail Museum,

On January 3rd. a long time life-member of ALDHA, an avid AT hiker
and supporter, a friend to many hikers for many years, and my friend
through the years since I first met him at the 2002 Gathering in
West Virginia, Ernst "Raven ~ Class of '85" Banfield passed away.
In the 1st. thunbnail is his "Farewell" and further info about leaving any
message one may wish to make.

"Raven" and his family are supporters of the A. T. Museum and have requested
that, "Memorial donations are suggested to the Appalachian Trail Museum".
A special listing for Raven on the new "Building Fund Donors (2013 - 16)"
plaque has been created and reads as in the attached file. This plaque will
be hung in the Museum by June's AT Hall of Fame Banquet in 2017. All
donors to his memorial fund will receive an acknowledgement note, as well as
Raven's family will be informed of each donation. Since the Museum is a registered
non-profit, all donors will also receive an I.R.S. receipt for tax purposes. A printable
donation form is in the 2rd. thumbnail for your convenience. Please mark checks
as "in memory of Raven" and your donation will be so applied.

Raven's passing brings to mind one of Nimblewill Nomad's poetry lines:
"......' ll roam these hills and mountain sides until that bye and bye,
a perfect dawn, when packs take wing, and the tread way climbs the sky" !

May Light Perpetual shine on Raven, now and forever.

Robert "Red Wolf o'da Smoky's"

cover the cost of the new exhibits. This "Building Fund Campaign"
will run through 2016 and expects to reach a goal of $150,000.
The campaign has raised $71,000 including a $30,000 anonymous gift !

All donors of $50 or more will be listed on a permanent plaque, the
"Building Fund Donors (2013 - 2016)" plaque, which will hang in The Museum .
The TOTAL of a donor's donations over the entire period (2013 - 2016) will
determine the donor's listing level on this new plaque.

Every donation over $20 receives a 2014 membership in the A. T. Museum,
an I.R.S. receipt, an acknowledgement note detailing the donor's present
plaque listing level, and a membership card.

Renovations of the building will develop the upper floors into

work will resume on the second-floor ramp. The bottom floor
will be renovated so more exhibits may be added down there, with
a focus on the younger hiker ~ the options are many for what we will
offer in that new space. The work is scheduled to begin in April, with
most being done during the week while The Museum is closed; The Museum
will be open only on weekends for April. Ron Bungay is the man in charge.

Thru: An Appalachian Trail Love Story ~ A Customer Review:

Warning: This book will make you late for work!
by John L. Boyer Jr. on March 1, 2014
Amazon Verified Purchase
I just finished Thru and am very impressed. When I got about 1/4 into it had a hard time putting it down.
At 3/4 I slowed down a bit to savor it. The characters are really diverse and for the most part are known
by their trail names. Personalities such as Brave Phillie, Sky Writer, Ultra Grunge and Captain Stupid
come across as too quirky and authentic to be purely the product of a writers imagination. In the
acknowledgements, the author says as much. The book is written from the viewpoints of several
travelers journals, so the reader gets to experience the journey from their viewpoints simultaneously.

I hope this book will have a broader appeal than just those who are interested in hiking or the AT.
I can easily see it as a TV series or a movie. The storyline deals with things that affect all of us... love,
rejection, growing up and growing old, joy and pain; all set against the backdrop of random people
escaping the 'real world' for a while to enjoy God's creation.
In my very little time hiking on the AT I have seen the unusual culture of the trail in action. It really is
some sort of magic, and Richard Judy has captured it well. So get the book! And remember ALL of the
proceeds go to help fund the Appalachian Trail Museum.
*************************************
This A. T. Museum published book, Thru- An Appalachian Trail Love Story, will be available at
