Dear Walkers,
Last year I went to NYC where I
participated in the annual “Great Saunter”
walk around the island of Manhattan. This
walk is sponsored by the Shorewalkers
founded by Cy Adler. He recently died at
age 91. In the lengthy NY Times obituary is
a quotation by him: “The walker is the
supreme conservator; he does not add
pollution to the air or water, he does not
waste natural resources, he destroys
nothing.” I thought that’s an admirable
thought and wanted to share it with you.
