A few anectdotes from this year's class re: 1/2 gallon club:

	2Timer finished his half gallon in 14 minutes

	Mo finished his in 9+ minutes!

	1 Gallon Bill hiked his 20th anniversary thru-hike this year--in
	1982 he thought the 1/2 gallon wasn't enough and finished off
	another 1/2 gallon.  This year he just passed.

	Oh yeah.  Radar didn't quite make it.  It probably had something to
	do with eating a huge hamburger first and picking mint-chocolate
	chip.  Note to the class of 2003.  Don't use mint-chocolate chip.
