    Default Any Class of 1987?

    I ran into a guy that hiked in 87 with Wingfoot. I got some great stories out of him. Anyway, his name is Red Devil. Scrappy guy from Massachusetts. This guy has some serious miles. Anyway I hiked with him today and am sure he would want to say hello to any of you guys that may know him. Good fella

    Newfound Gap to Damascus and Pearisburg to Damascus in '87. Don't recall Red Devil but I remember a hiker named Red Man or Red Beard that used red ink in the registers.
    GA -> ME
    '86 -> '89

    I was with two other guys and we were known as the Virginia boys. People may remember us more as the guys who packed a guitar.

    I started a thru-hike in 87, DNF. I don’t remember anyone by name except Jim, who I remember as retired military. I expected Jim to be a successful thru-hiker. Now, I am the military retiree hiking the trail in 2019. I also remember the first time I saw Jim was as he reached the summit of Blood Mountain. Jim using an ALICE pack and other military gear.
