UPCOMING CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS AT PINE GROVE FURNACE

Dear Appalachian Trail Museum Friends,

Tara Getting, Environmental Education Specialist of Pine Grove Furnace State Park, sent me
the March 25th. NEWS RELEASE about the upcoming "Half-Pints" Children's Programs to be
held at the Fuller Lake bath house April 11, 18 and 25. ~ see the attachment below for details.

MANY THANKS, to all the volunteers who have helped make our 2014 Museum Opening the
success it is ! Your support is appreciated. Many more volunteers will be needed as this
museum season progresses.

Joe Harold, Museum Manager wrote:
" Docent shifts are starting to fill. It was very nice to see all of you signing up for shifts for the coming
2014 season. I hope everyone is finding the Volunteer Spot website to be comfortable to work with.
If you can spare the time on a Saturday or Sunday in April, it would be great to get that month all lined up.
Thanks for all who are committing their time, it is so greatly appreciated. Sign up: VOLUNTEER HERE."
Or, CONTACTJoe Harold Museum Manager at either: [email protected] or [email protected]

At this time, the beginning of our Appalachian Trail Museum's 2014 Season (our 5th. !), it seems

mailing it to us (the address is on the form) ~ see the thumbnail below

which is to be hung permanently in The Museum in 2017, please contact me, Robert Croyle, by email at
[email protected] or by mail (my address is near the end of this email). Your financial support
is vital to our A. T. Museum's success as it serves all AT lovers and continues its expansion into the
remainder of the "Old Mill" building. All donations of $20 or more receive a one-year membership, a note card,
an IRS receipt, a membership card, and a listing on the the new plaque at the appropriate listing level.

SPECIAL WEEKEND (JUNE 6 - 8) !
TRAIL DAYS REVIEW / PARK PROGRAMS / HALF MARATHON & 5K

Dear Appalachian Trail Museum Friends,

2014 Trail Days Festival ~ Damascus, Virginia
This year the A. T. Museum was represented with four board members present
~ Noel "The Singing Horseman" DeCavalcante, Larry Luxenberg (President),
Terry Wilson (Vice-president), and myself, Robert "RED WOLF o'da SMOKY'S"
Croyle (Membership Secretary).

Thursday, May15, Noel and I set up the Museum table in one side of the ALDHA tent
(Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association) . Many thanks, ALDHA, for the
donated space. ALDHA has long been a major supporter of the A. T. Museum.

Our AT Traveling Exhibit was set up in the recreation hall of The First Baptist Church of Damascus.
Calvin "Crazy Horse" Duncan and I set it up early Friday morning. It is a self-guiding exhibit.
Terry Wilson, who created this exhibit, informed me that while she was reviewing it,
an older gentleman was really excited and praising it loudly to all within ear-shot!
In fact, when Larry and I took it down late Saturday, an older boy (about 7th grade)
was pointing script out to three younger boys ~ they all had that trail-dreamy look in their eyes!
To see the 2014 Trail Days website, click on: 2014 TRAIL DAYS FESTIVAL

Earlier that week, on Wednesday, I treated myself to the pure enjoyment of a 2.5 mile hike
in the "Virginia high-country" ! This is the Wildflower Walk, lead by Eleanor Grasseli and
Snow Ferreniea, on Whitetop Mountain. Eleanor took a picture of the group and one of me
(in the red shirt, of course) ~ see the first two thumbnail attachments. We hiked north on the AT,
down to the road in Elk Garden. Just a few days later that same area had snow flurries,
while the temperature plunged to 39 degrees in Damascus !

ALREADY ~ time runs short before I leave Savannah on another road-trip!
Monday I leave for Boiling Springs, Pa., and the greatest time of the year at our
A. T. Museum's, AT Hall of Fame / AT Festival WEEKEND (June 6, 7, & 8) ! ! !

<< PS. FYI ~ John "Bodacious" Beaudet, who carves all the "beloved" walking sticks given to the
AT Hall of Fame inductees, will give a demonstration of his carving at The Museum on
Saturday (the day after the AT Hall of Fame Banquet). Some have suggested that a name must
be given to these walking stick awards, like the"Oscar" is called for the statuettes given at the
Academy Awards ~ the name "Bodi" has been suggested ! ~ R W

WARRIOR'S HIKE ~ DINNER ~ MEET & GREET THIS SUNDAY !

Dear Appalachian Trail Museum Friends, GREETINGS !

I just got back today to "Hot' Savannah" after one FANTASTIC week up there
around our Appalachian Trail Museum ! KUDOS to Joe Harold for his
more than excellent work ~ the Museum is in GREAT shape and only looks
to be better. The AT Hall of Fame Banquet was again a "MUST" hiker event.
After I have time to settle back in and catch-up with everything, I'll post more
details about last week's activities ( & photos !).

Here is a letter from Joe Harold, Museum Manager and a news release in the
attachment about the upcoming Sunday, June 15 Program at the Museum:

"All,
You may have read on the website or in some other publication that we will be
working with the Park and the Friends of Pine Grove Furnace to welcome this year's
Warrior Hikers on Sunday, June 15th at 4pm. We will be having a meet and greet
and cookout with the hikers after we have picked them up at Caledonia.

I'm looking to get a head count of those who plan to attend. The Friends are providing
the cooking stuff, but a covered dish to share would help with the feast. If you are
planning (or thinking) of coming, please let me know. Also, if you plan to bring something,
that information would be helpful too. We will need a firm headcount by June 11th at the
latest, but as usual, the earlier, the better.

We are also looking for a few people to shuttle the hikers back to Chambersburg
(where the USMC are putting them up in a Hotel) later in the evening (maybe around 8 or so).
If you can provide a ride for a few hikers, let me know and we will know we can get them
to Chambersburg safely for a nice comfy sleep.

TWO A. T. MUSEUM SUNDAY PROGRAMS !

Dear Appalachian Trail Museum Friends,

Two upcoming Sunday afternoon Museum Programs deserve your attention:
# 1: < < < THIS WEEKEND ~ SUNDAY AFTERNOON ! > > >
6/22/2014 - Don's Brother: A Hike of Hope on the Appalachian Trail
Mike Stephens is a retired high school English teacher and cross-country coach
who resides in Columbus, Georgia. He has hiked over 3000 miles on the Appalachian Trail,
including a northbound thru-hike in 2013. His hike was dedicated in memory of his
younger brother, Don Stephens, who died of ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease in August, 2012.
As a tribute to his brother, Mike used the trail name “Don’s Brother."

Mike wrote every day of the hike and recorded his writings on his website and at
trail journals. After returning home he edited his journal, interspersed stories about his brother,
and published the final document as a book, Don’s Brother: A Hike of Hope on the Appalachian Trail.

Mike will talk about his experience of the hike and how the hike helped him come to terms with
the loss of his brother. Attendees of this program will be able to purchase a signed copy
of Don's Brother: A Hike of Hope on the Appalachian Trail.
