i started March 21st that year and quit in Gorham around September 1st. Do you remember Bosun Hodges?

Small world. I hiked New England with your brother. He is the reason I wore converse sneakers from Gorham to Baxter. If he could do it why couldn't I?? Tell him Rockin Rex says hi. He should remember me. Lone wolf I think I hiked with you also. What a year 86 was. Alot of people quit in New England because of the rain. Be interesting to see who is out there from class of 86.

I'll tell him, don't see him too often, he is spending a lot of time in Grenada right now where his wife is going to vet school. If you hiked with him from Harpers Ferry to Duncannon, we hiked together, I joined him for that stretch.

I was behind you the whole way. I started April 8 and finished September 29. I was "The Weka from Topeka." I spent about a week off the trail in New York City while it was raining so heavily, but I hit my share of rain.
