"Model T" Honored for Fundraising Hike

The Clarksville 'Leaf-Chronicle' of 14 May 2007 has a brief, unsigned article in it titled "Tate helped the homeless; Local hiker walked for Salvation Army drive and raised $30,000."

It's about 4 time thru-hiker J.R. "Model-T" Tate. On his last hike, the piece says, he raised more than $30,000 for the Salvation Army. And, apparently rather recently, "the Salvation Army [I'm guessing that would be one of the local branches, not the national church body] presented Tate with the Others Award during its annual Fundraising and Appreciation Dinner."
