A friend is a member of the Green Mt. Club in VT and wrote up the profile in the link below. Still going strong at 80!

I've hiked with her, but can't remember which peak offhand.

Her friend Ralph Gibbs also mentioned in the article is one of the few black NE peakbaggers which may deserve an article itself. Apparently he once got frostbite on a trip and didn't recognize it right off. I was going to ask him about it when I met him, but the trip leader forbade the question "Did your skin turn white?"

Wonderful article.
I would really love to do a hike with Dot.
