Ron Tipton will make his last public appearance before retiring at the end of the year, and will give a talk at 1:00 pm. Ron was super disciplined with his time, but always found time to talk with folks in the visitor center every day. We'll miss "Turkey Foot", GA-ME '78, (no, he didn't use the trail name in the office, I don't think he really like it) but I think he's going to stay involved in the A.T. in some way. His successor, Suzanne Dixon, will stop be in the afternoon sometime after 2.

Other highlights are hot cider, coffee, and homemade cookies baked by staff and volunteers. I heard there might be a gingerbread A.T. shelter coming, can't confirm that.

But the best part is always seeing trail friends, old and new. Hope some WhiteBlazers will stop by.
