Over The Hill Hikers

 Veteran political reporter, Shirley Elder Lyons, working with Elizabet MacGregor Bates, has produced Over the Hill Hikers, a book that chronicles the ups and downs (literally) of a group of retirees in Sandwich, New Hampshire.  They became a very cohesive bunch of happy hikers under Lib's instinctive use of casual leadership.  Lib was determined to make the hiking experience fun as well as satisfying.  It worked.  The hikers just hiked, every Tuesday, and built a unique community along the way.
