Hey Pittsburgh,

I understand where you're coming from, but I have to disagree.  As I wrote to 
Kelly earlier....

"With all due respect, this is beyond what's expected of the hiking 
community.? Any of our group efforts should remain dedicated to the trail or trails.

That said, as individuals, we can donate to the relief efforts.? From what I 
understand, the best organizations to donate to are the America Red Cross and 
Doctors Without Borders."

I still think it should go to the Maine ATC in Kieth Shaw's name or atleast 
another cuase towards the trail but, I'm easy, whatever the group feels.
