Dear Appalachian Trail Museum Friends,

RENOVATION PROGRESS :
Joe Harold, Museum Manager, recently wrote in his report
to the Museum Volunteers,
" The Museum continues to transform into a larger exhibit space
with the help of our wonderful volunteers. Jack Adams leads the crew
that is building the ramp to the second floor and Ron Bungay leads
the two upper floors work. Howard Davis has also been doing a lot
of tree planting with the help of Jay Sexton and Dan Taylor.

Jack's team consists of Al Black, Chuck Strehl, Ed Riggs, and
Howard Davis. Ron's team is made up of Carol Bungay, Jeff Seal,
Margy Schmidt, Randy Fishback, and Mike Wingeart.

The ramp is nearing completion and the upper two stories are
transforming each week. Soon we will start the planning of the
new exhibits for the second floor, and start moving all the books
and other resource items to the top floor library !

We couldn't do it without the help of these great volunteers.
Our thanks is huge. "

Likewise, our A. T. Museum and its expansion into the entire
"Old Mill" building are not possible without your financial support.
Our Building Fund Donors Campaign, with a permanent plaque of all
$50 & up contributors is to hang June 2017 in The Museum, continues

Dear Appalachian Trail Museum Friends,

This is the time of year that I love to be walking that open ridge
north of Roan Mountain. The nights are chilly ~ a fire feels good
~ and the warm tent and bed even better up there along
that ridge-top ! A front may come through and dust everything with
some white, but in the morning, the clarity gives the ultimate
"photo-opportunity" , with view north and south of open ridge, sky,
and waves of mountain ridges off to the horizon.

ROAN MOUNTAIN SUITE --
JENS KRUGER INTERVIEW & PARKING INFO :

Here is a letter from Judy Murray, wife of Stan Murray,
regarding this Saturday's "Premiere Performance" of
the Roan Mountain Suite composed in memory of Stan Murray,
protector of the Roan Highlands and long-time ATC Chair.

“Friends,
If you haven't decided yet whether to attend this Saturday's
Roan Mountain Suite World Premiere, then this
Bristol Herald Courier Features article might help you to decide:

A PREVIEW FROM THE BRISTOL HERALD COURIER

Coming or not, you'll enjoy the article.
Actually it's the Kontras Quartet, not the Kronos Quartet!
But they're great too.

Parking
If you are coming to the concert, be aware that Bristol does not
have any large downtown parking lots. They have street parking
and a few small lots, so allow ample time to find a space and
get to the theater beforehand.
Doors open at 6:30. Concert begins at 7:30

From this link, you can download and print a map that indicates
street parking in orange and lot parking in blue.
The Paramount is #10 on the map. I would recommend nearby
street parking or the blue lot on 5th Street as first choices.

BRISTOL PARKING MAP

Hope to see you there!

All the best,

Judy Murray “

~ article from the IAT-Maine Chapter's newsletter:
On August 24, U.S. President Barack Obama used his executive
authority to create the Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument
on land donated to the federal government by entrepreneur and
conservationist Roxanne Quimby. More than 87,500 acres in Maine's
"North Woods" was designated in honor of the 100th Anniversary of
the National Park Service, a historic but unilateral decision after
years of bitter debate. To read more and to see a short video, go to:

KATAHDIN WOODS & WATERS NATIONAL MONUMENT !
~ article from the IAT-Maine Chapter's newsletter:
On August 24, U.S. President Barack Obama used his executive
authority to create the Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument
on land donated to the federal government by entrepreneur and
conservationist Roxanne Quimby. More than 87,500 acres in Maine's
"North Woods" was designated in honor of the 100th Anniversary of
the National Park Service, a historic but unilateral decision after
years of bitter debate. To read more and to see a short video, go to:
