Russ, I was just checking out the message board from this years TGO, and spotted your name. Fond memories of me and Louise hooking up with you and Herman for our last couple days of hiking together on the 2010 TGO. I finally got my knee replacement last year ( remember us exchanging pain meds??) and haven't ruled out doing another TGO in the near future. I hope all is well with you...David the American

Hello David, I hope the knee replacement has been successful. My knee misbehaved this year. A common problem with many challengers I fear.As for medication I often wonder what the best collective noun for challengers should be, herd, flock, grouping? nah! medication of challengers seems more appropriate.

I always thought an asylum of Challengers was the most appropriate.
