If you live or work north of RT2 you probably have run into John over the years. He was incredibly active in Randolph. One of the key folks involved with a local group buying the former Brown Company Lands in Randolph from an insurance company desperate to sell and eventually transforming a big portion of it into the Randolph Community Forest while transferring the land in the WMNF declaration boundary to the WMNF. Without it, Randolph could have easily turned into Success and Cambridge where Dillion clear cut every standing tree for miles. RCF now acts as major north south strip of mostly wildland as a major corridor of wildlife into the WMNF. John was also active in the reformation of the Coos County Planning board from a rubber stamp "old boys club" into a modern planning board early in the Balsams permitting process that has carried forward to being the only independent body trying to control development at higher elevations in the county. He was one of the many who spend countless weekends reopening the trails in Randolph after the ice storm of 1998 which is when I first got to work with him.
