<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT face=Arial color=#808000 size=4>Now that I'm retired I
find I have arthritis in my left hip and feel my dream of a thru-hike on the AT
is over. BUUTTT I still wish to remain in touch with the trail and hikers
and feel a good way to do this would be to transcibe their trail journals if
they wish to keep one. If this interests you feel free to email
me.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
