HOSTED WEEKEND – JULY 30-31

In Celebration of Raymond H. Torrey
At the ADK’s general meeting in October 1922, Raymond Torrey was charged with setting up a NY Chapter.  By 1923, the New York Chapter was formally established, with Raymond Torrey as the first Chair.  He was also the co-founder of the Trail Conference and was appointed its first Secretary, a position he held until his untimely death (on his birthday, July 28th) in 1938 at age 58.  New York Chapter members, with efforts spearheaded by Torrey and the Trail Conference, set out to blaze the first trails in Harriman State Park.  During all these years, he published his Long Brown Path newspapers articles promoting all the trails being built in Harriman State Park.  There will be a short presentation about Raymond Torrey after dinner on Saturday.

A hike to the Torrey Memorial on Long Mountain (with a stop at Turkey Hill Lake) is planned for Sunday after breakfast (start time about 10:30).  Host: Ray Kozma and Janet Sibarium.

Please register with Ray (917-406-37820) or raymondkozma@gmail.com by Thursday, July 28th before 10PM.  The hike on Sunday will be qualifying.
