[pct-l] Ruby Jenkins - PCT author

[Roslyn Bullas]

One of the coauthors of the PCT guidebook to Southern California, Ruby
Johnson Jenkins, passed away over the weekend. The Bakersfield Californian
published an obituary that beautifully summarized her accomplishments as a
later-in-life backpacker and an author, after her son J.C. Jenkins  died in
a car accident and she kept his legacy alive by authoring his guidebooks.
(Mt. Jenkins in Section F is named after him.):
