[at-l] Tradgedy intrudes on Thru Hike

[KEITH McLeod <McLEOD-KEITH.DOREEN@worldnet.att.net>]

A thru hiker who started out with the Trail name Boot and later changed
to No Clue was called home Sat. by the tragic suicide of his 26 year old
son. No Clue had started in March and had made it as far as Harper's
Ferry. The Trail had become a real challenge for him and he has been
deeply touched by the friendships made in the brotherhood of thru
hikers. Many  have helped him and he has helped others. My son and his
were childhood friends. If you have it in your heart to send him words
of encouragement in this most difficult time I know it will help guide
him through his grief. Please send to: Steve Fugate
