This far-flung group has common roots in Emmaus, PA, and Backpacker magazine. Our cast of characters includes:

Heather Dorn, the only team member who still lives in Emmaus, races up and down the East Coast with her husband Jon (see solo class for more about Jon).
 
Kris Wagner, a longhaired intern turned Web guru, left Emmaus to set up shop in Boulder as Backpacker's map editor. 

Gina DeMillo Wagner is an accomplished freelance writer/editor in Boulder. While at Backpacker, she and Heather competed in adventure races together.

Dennis Lewon, who was commonly known as the best happy-hour host in Emmaus during his tenure at Backpacker, has taken his hospitality and keen editing skills to Outside magazine in Santa Fe, NM.
