The Maine chapter of the International Appalachia Trail held its annual meeting the first weekend of May at the Presque Isle Inn and Convention Center and dedicated the meeting to William (Bill) H. Forbes, who passed away in 2011 and was a long time member of the IAT. Forbes’ knowledge, expertise and many contacts helped in the concept and trail designation in Maine and the Canadian Maritimes. Forbes was a long-time geology professor at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.
