| (25)At Chestnut Knob with Konnarock. This hiker passed through. Gordon remembered him as going under the trail name of "Gutless", because a good amount of his insides had been removed due to cancer. A real man in my books, I hope he was able to complete his hike. The man leaning on the shelter in the background was a local TV personality who was up at the Knob for a story. | (26) This may have been another hiker who was walking with Gutless. |

Notice Gordon with his arm around one woman's knee while another draps her arm over his shoulders. Typical Burgess behavior at these Konnarock affairs. Ken Rose and Steve Williams are also in this picture. |
