Sue was an active and prolific leader of hikes for the GHTC.
She was also the hike activities coordinator and member of the GHTC executive committee for a number of years. As such she was resourceful in encouraging hike leaders to fill the calendar with hikes and to lead quality hikes. She had many contacts in both GHTC and in other clubs. As an example, when the club announced an initiative in 2012 to hike all 21 valleys of the Niagara Escarpment between Niagara Falls and Beaver Valley, (a project we called "Valley-Bagging" as a nod to the popular "peak bagging" in the Adirondacks), Sue rounded up leaders so that GHTC managed to put on hikes in all 21 valleys in one year, when it was initially expected to take two or three years.inator and member of the GHTC executive committee for a number of years.

Her energy and enthusiasm will truly be missed.
