[pct-l] A cool little find

[jmertes at verizon.net (John Mertes)]

I too have a Starr's Guide to the JMT, llth revised edition,  which I 
bought years ago when it was current.
I also have a 12th revised edition published in the Sierra Club 
Totebook(r) format which I found on the JMT during one of my BP's. 
Inside is written the name "Paula Balo".
Just handling these old books brings back memories.  The pleasure of old 
things.
