In 1972, Jean Cashin began a career with the Appalachian Trail Conference (now Conservancy) in Harpers Ferry, WV. During her 24 years as information specialist, she helped shape and personalize ATC's hiker services, earning a well-deserved Trail-wide reputation as the universal Trail mom. Among her many contributions, Jean started the tradition of taking a photo of each A.T. hiker intending to complete the entire Trail who stopped in at the ATC headquarters. After retirement, she continued to support the Appalachian Trail Conservancy in many capacities. • Jean was a founding member of the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association (ALDHA) and was honored in 2012 by the Appalachian Trail Museum for her lifetime of service to the Appalachian Trail and for befriending generations of hikers. • • This December 2005 interview was part of the 25th anniversary documentary on the history of ALDHA. Jean was interviewed by Weathercarrot with videography by John Fletcher. • You can also see the main documentary here: https://vimeo.com/670419571/0e458ef5e2 • Other related links: • Appalachian Trail Conservancy - http://www.appalachiantrail.org/ • ALDHA - http://aldha.org/ • Weathercarrot photos, videos, etc - https://weathercarrot.smugmug.com/
