[pct-l] JMT record??

[Tortoise]

Interesting, very interesting.

Years ago when KEVIN SAWCHUK was a young sprout he came along with his 
Dad on backpacks we did with other friends. Kevin was a good hiker but 
didn't show signs he would become an extreme speed/distance hiker. Only 
seen him once since those days. But it is good to hear what he is up to.
