Gang -

Guess who Del Doc's neighbor is?  Moi.  He lives two blocks down my street 
and is starting this effort when?  Same day as me, March 1.  Same place... 
Springer Mountain.  Truly a small world.  I told him if he needs shuttle help 
when he gets closer to home here, I'm there.

He's an amazing guy (I think he's thru-hiked 4 times).  Although he's 
surprizingly never heard of a Ruck.  I clued him in but he's kinda busy this 
year getting this organized.  Maybe I'll see if I can't get him to come to 
one next year.

This is truly a worthwhile effort.  Help however you can.

Proud to have a legend down the street in lil' ol' Delaware

<< Folks--
    I've received a letter from ATC notifying me (and presumably 
 other Club leaders along the trail) that Del Doc (Vernon Vernier) is 
 going to do another AT centerline survey in 2002.  From the 
 experience he gathered in '99 and better equipment now available, it 
 is expected that this survey will be much more useful in establishing 
 an accurate centerline.  The previous survey has many gaps and errors 
 due to terrain, leaf cover etc.  Not only has Del Doc purchased this 
 equipment himself, he has also offered to fund the logistical aspects 
 of the project.  When he is done, the GPS equipment will be available 
 to trail clubs for their own projects free of charge. >>
