     "Food microbiology," huh?
     We should be able to provide you with a research topic or two, eh 
     gang?

I just realized that I posted the other day before I properly introduced 
myself to everyone.  Sorry about that.
     
My name is Steve, I am 25 and I currently live in Jacksonville Beach, FL. I 
am planning on hiking the AT in '01.  About a year ago, I finished my 
undergradute degree, and have been working for Mayo Clinic ever since.  In 
this year, I have come all to aware that I don't like working in health care. 
 Sick people just aren't my forte.  Plus nobody likes being told that they 
need to watch their salt/cholesterol/fat intake when they have been eating 
that all of their lives.  So have have decided to make a career move. 
I am returning to school to get my Master's in food microbiology.  I will be 
taking classes in Athens, GA for eight months then I will move on to Griffin, 
GA to do research until I am done with my degree.  
I used to do a lot of hiking and camping before I went to college, but I have 
taken a hiatus as of late.  Now I am really aching to get back into it.  
Since I will be so close Springer, I will have the opportunity to ease back 
into it before I start my long walk.  I have learned a lot from the posts, 
but I felt that it is time to stop lurking, and try and contribute what I can 
to this list.
