Congratulations Réjean.

Félicitations Réjean. You are certainly one of New England's hiking legends. I don't ever remember meeting you out on the trails, but maybe you just blew by us so fast that I didn't get a good look.

Anyway, now with the picture I have a better idea of who I am looking for.

À l'un de ces jours sur les sentiers.

Congratulations!!!

Will never forget trying to keep up with you and Oncoman a few winters ago hiking over Avery & West Bigelow and South Horn! The 4am start was VERY not me but getting done early afternoon was nice!

Another memory is meeting you (and Oncoman, Pin-Pin Jr, Carl Cressey & his brother and a young Canadian that had dug a hole in a snow bank at the trailhead and slept in it the night before!) at 3am as you all prepared to head out for Baxter & Hamlin Peaks! I was so overwhelmed by you GIANTS of the hiking world I backed out, which was a wise choice by me! You all went on to not only successfully complete that hike but, as I recall, went out the next day to climb North Brother as a day hike!!!

May success follow you wherever you go!!!

about to start for Baxter & Hamlin Peaks
