Jonathan Jessup writes Peter Shoenfeld, our Webmaster:

I have been hiking and backpacking in the Monongahela National forest area for ten years. I have put some of the photos I've taken on the site: http://www.geocities.com/jonathanjessup/.

I hope you like them. Would you post a link on your website to the site, please? I still get "The Highlands Voice" every month in the mail, and would greatly appreciate a short blurb (with url) in there too!

Thanks so much for everything you do!

Jonathan

 

From a reader:

Bill,

Thanks for running some pictures of people in the outdoors, and pictures of the outdoors, in The Highlands Voice. For the past few years it seemed that all the photos in the newsletter were of people in meetings, offices or wearing business suits.

A Grateful Reader,
