Katahdin. We crossed paths (literally) 26 July 2010, on the Crawford Path, and later that day at the Mispah Spring AMC Hut. Your discription of your passage through Mahoosic Notch brought back fond (painfull) memories! See you on the trail some day. Blake Son-Dance,

You look the same as you did 32 years ago. Remember Frank Thompson, now an attorney in Escondido ...he made Colonel in the reserves. I am still in CA but have moved around since the 70s. Sorry to see that "Big Herm" is no longer with you. Are you and "Big Mac" still together? Wayne Carter Hi Paul, Wayne Carter from the Marine Corps here. You look the same as you did 32 years ago.

I got some good photos of a flower-munching moose before I left the frozen north and I'll send them your way. Safe and Happy Hiking with Rainbow Brite!

You’re so close to that final step, and I am glad to have been able to walk the path along with you, even if only through your shared thoughts through this medium. Glad Rainbow Bright will be there to walk those last steps with you, and that the quest has been as fulfilling as you had wished. Hope we’ll see you back in the land of awesome heat and humidity soon! Hello, Son Dance, perhaps for the last time on this trail journal.

(Turn out the lights on the Whites!) by Becky Carpenter http://paultravers.com/blog/?p=228#comment-346 Becky Carpenter Mon, 09 Aug 2010 01:55:01 +0000 http://paultravers.com/blog/?p=228#comment-346 What a journey you have had, and for such a very good reason. My own grandmother and great grandmother, though we never heard the word alzheimers, were lost in a world of their own in the years before their death. I would like to tell you a quick "small world" story. I received a call from my dear friend. We grew up together, attended schools together and are still very close. Cindy, is Skip MacDonald's sister - your wife's aunt. Also, after the loss of my mom, my dad married Betty West the grandmother of Chet West. They had known each other from when they were young. She is a very unique and special woman who dearly loves all members of her family, both by blood and by marriage. It's a pleasure following your journey.
