Indiana's Keith Drury has AT on Resume

A Grant County, IN Chronicle-Tribune article by Whitney Ross ("New Name for YMCA Stays Hush-Hush") on 26 January 2007 reports that the folks at the Grant County Family YMCA will only learn the name of the facility at a dinner on Monday night, 29 January.

"In addition to giving updates about the building, attendees will hear Keith Drury, a religion professor at Indiana Wesleyan University, speak about his hikes. Drury has more than a dozen books and manuals published and he has hiked the Appalachian Trail and canoed the Missouri River." [emphasis added]

He was speaking on the 29th about his more recent hike "tracing the Pottawatomi Indians," as they walked what "is called the 'Trail of Death' and starts in Indiana. Drury walked the same 660-mile trail the American Indians walked when they were forced to move west."
