Spoon and I would like to congratulate Loyal Mehnert for being honored as a People Magazine’s All-Stars Among Us. Since we last saw him he has jumped off the trail “while still in VA to replace my busted right foot with a titanium exoskeleton and to handle all the press and stuff for People Magazine.” He got to toss out the first pitch at Miller Park and enjoy the All-Star game festivities in St. Louis all weekend long. Tomorrow Loyal will get to see President Obama toss the ceremonial first pitch at the All-Star game where he will be honored during the pre-game ceremony along with the 29 other winners. Loyal is most deserving of this honor through his work with Habitat for Humanity and this recognition is fitting for someone dedicated to making other people’s lives so much better.
We are proud of him and wish him luck on continuing his AT thru-hike.
