I am honored to have been a participant in the
first ADZPCTKO. I guess we 50 or so are charter members in what will
certainly grow to become an honored institution. We need a certificate or
a patch or a pin or something.
What truly exceptional people you all are.
None of us, veteran hikers, present day hikers, or future hikers will ever
forget April 16-18, 1999. Maybe in 25 years or so we can have a ceremony
and pass the torch on to a new generation. I hope one of you with a
camera will send a photo of the Class of 99 to the PCTA for the
Communicator. I will be thrilled to say, "I was there."
Thank you to all for the memories, and Happy
Trails to the Class of 99. Bob Riess at the Trailhead in San
Diego
