F.W. "Otter" Townes and William "Tadpole" Townes

Greensboro NC's News-Record has an article by Jeri Rowe in its 26 April 2007 edition titled "Father, son forge bond on Appalachian Trail."

Rowe quickly recounts the thru-hike taken 2 years ago by F.W. Townes, and his son William Townes. Son William was a student at Washington & Lee University in Lexington, VA at the time of the hike. The article describes the potential friction between "Otter" and "Tadpole," but also how it turned out very well.

The pair are slated to talk about the thru-hike at the "Merlefest" on 29th at Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, NC.
