Bill Ackerly - The A.T.'s beloved ice cream man

[twistwrist]

Hey all. I'm looking for stories/memories/facts about the A.T.'s beloved and recently deceased Ice Cream Man, Bill Ackerly. He has a story to tell and I want to write it. Help me by providing me with your memories of this kindhearted man. Share this with anyone you know who met him. Thanks all. ~Clarity

Also, it probably isn't what you are looking for, but you might find this book - a true tail of the adventures of his son John and a friend (written by the friend) to be interesting: https://www.amazon.com/Sky-Burial-Ey...rds=sky+burial It does tell the story behind the Tibetan prayer flags at his home.

If you want to message me with your email, I can try to put you in touch with one of his sons. I knew Bill well, hiked Katahdin with his family when I was a kid - but did meet him in his role as trail angel.
