Remembering Jim Goodwin 1910-2011

Keene Valley’s Jim Goodwin, who embodied two key aspects of North Country culture — Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division and Adirondack mountaineering — passed away on April 7th.

You can read a remembrance here at the Adirondack Backcountry Skiing website. Tomorrow morning during the 8 O’clock Hour, we’ll revisit a conversation I had with Jim in 2007.

We spoke about his time as an Army medic, during the Italian campaign, and about his love for the outdoors.
