This is sad news indeed. I believe that he hiked in 1983. I can't remember his 
trailname, either. I'll see if I can find it. Ironically, last night I was 
looking at pictures I took of a moose while Truman stood next to me (At 
Baldpate Shelter in 2001.) I would say that my conversation that night with 
Truman was one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had. The knowing 
that I'll never see him again makes me sad.
