[pct-l] David Hough's bandana

[Donna "L-Rod" Saufley]

Many thanks to the Class of '02 who so generously produces the bandanas each year. I just wanted to note that the supply of bandanas here at Hiker Heaven is limited as well, and typically runs out before the season is over.  So, no guarantees about there being bandanas available here.
