[at-l] Sea Wolf responds!

[janl2@mindspring.com (Jan Leitschuh)]

Okay you guys,
if you want the facts about the horse, go to the horse (old horseman's
saying). Here are a few more about Sea Wolf.
I was curious about this fellow and his thru-hike, and so wrote, making him
an offer. He sounds like an interesting guy, with an interesting thru-hike
story.
And lawyer going to divinity school? Sounds like repentance to me...

Dear Lite Shoe,
    All right, Darling, you got me!  When
you send me your check, send the address for the Hospice check.
    I'm glad to hear you're going to thru-hike the Trail.  As you can see
from the dates on my letter, there's really no excuse for not finishing it.
If I had taken one more day, I would have been a section hiker.  I jumped
forward from Pennsylvania to New Hampshire and summited Katahdin on 10
October.  Then I went back to Hanover and started south.  Divorce, divinity
school applications, etc., put me in New England in the winter and I tore my
rotator cuff trying to get over Bear Mountain, CT, one night in February on
the ice.  I hope that's the dumbest thing I'll ever do.
    You sound like an experienced hiker so I'm sure you won't need any help,
but let me know if you do.  Call me if you need a shuttle in Virginia.
                                            Sea Wolf 42
