Mike, I was just reading your post of VFTT about the AMC and Andy F's salary. I was excited about your comments on the work the AMC did for inner city kids because I had the good fortune to meet up with a group from Boston on the trail to Mt. Jackson in the Fall of 2008. The boys and girls were dressed urban clothing, ie, RocaWear, SeanJean, Timberland, and would be a possibly threathening presence to some. I found them all to be very polite, friendly, enthusiastic, conversational, and differential to my wife and I ( she and I are a couple of 60 year old timers from the 60's) as we passed each other up and down the mountain. These kids were awe struck by the experience. Having grown up in Boston, I knew they thought the wilds were the Blue Hills. I applaud your post.
