[pct-l] The ''Legend''

[reinholdmetzger at cox.net]

Switchback,
I know you are humble and shy and don't want to sound
boisterous, but the list has a right to know the true feelings                       of its hero, so express yourself freely without constrain and 
share with us your inner feelings and your infinite backpacking 
knowledge.
I assure you, your comments and hiking wisdom will be well 
received and appreciated by all list members.
Anxiously awaiting your latest ''Super Secrets of backpacking''.

JMT Reinhold
