[pct-l] Adios my friends

[Reinhold Metzger]

My Dear friends,
I regret, that due to the heavy onslaught of fan mail from my loyal & 
adoring female admirers, in response to the ''How to pronounce Reinhold" 
post, I must now sign of, for tear of computer overload.
But, ''Fear Not'' my scrumptious little ones, for we will meet again 
some day, somewhere, along the JMT in my beloved Sierra, away from the 
maddening crowd, by a secluded Alpine lake were we will enjoy the 
splendor of the grass and the naked beauty
of the wilderness....until then farewell, my scrumptious little ones.

Down boys....down boys.....I'm talking to the girls.

JMT Reinhold
