I am posting this for my friend Doug, please read below and follow the link!!
Dear All,
My name is Douglas R. Arnold and I represent the 46ers as Chair of the Grace Peak Project. We have been working for almost 10 years now to rename East Dix to honor a true blue Adirondack heroine, Grace Leach Hudowalski #9.
We think that once you see the documentary, “The Mountains Will Wait For You”, you will agree she is worthy.
