[pct-l] Pct partner needed & Adios my friends

[Reinhold Metzger]

ADIOS  MY  FRIENDS!!!
The road we traveled had been a fun and exciting road.
However, all roads have bends....our road has come to such a bend and I 
must now travel along a different road.

If   "Supertramp" does not survive his High Sierra Odyssey,  I hereby 
bequeath my half of the  "Supertramp" inheritance to Switchback to carry 
on the work of the  "Switchback & Reinhold"  comedy team, dedicated to 
brighten the life of our list members by bringing humor and laughter to 
this list.

Be nice to Switchback now, for he is the  "Spark Plug"  on this list and 
the only comedy this list now has.
Zip lock bags and weather reports can get rather dull after a while and 
he brings badly needed humor and laughter to the list.

As in the General Douglas McArthur  farewell speech....."Old Soldiers 
never die....they just..fade away".....this old soldier, turned 
backpacker, will now also just..fade away.

Hope to see you all on the trail someday.
Until then  "Happy Trails" and remember........BE  NICE  TO  SWITCHBACK.

JMT Reinhold
