Kudos to Lee Barry aka Easy One!  

It was only a matter of time before Earl's record of "oldest thru-hiker" got 
broken and I'm sure Lee's will someday.  Maybe Lee will break it himself.  
However, it's not likely Earl's distinction of "1st thru-hiker" will officially 
be broken.

Wasn't Earl also the 1st to hike both ways?
