2010 - Richard Anderson (Nopack)
In the beginning of the 90's, Richard Anderson had a dream about making a connection between two countries - the United States of America and Canada- their cultures and their languages using the Appalaches to create such link. On April 22 1994, Earth Day, gubernatorial candidate Joe Brennan brought the idea the public.
Richard Anderson worked -and keeps on working- to spread his vision of a trail that would bring together the contries whose lanscapes were shaped by the Appalaches, a trail that would create bonds between the peoples who live by these mountains while promoting health, hiking, the protection of the environment and friendship between nations.
The initial project comprised three chapters and two countries. As of 2010, fourteen chapters in ten countries were added.
The IAT-QC is glad to give for the first time the title of Honorary Member to Richard Anderson for having dared to dream, for believing in his project and making the dream come true.
