The trip report

Written by Gandalf · last updated by Carl on Dec 10, 2023

We've known Kevin for 4 years. He is a hiking machine with a love of the outdoors! Kevin is headed off to Taiwan to be with family. We will miss his spirit, good heart, and smile. 

Fifteen of us got together at P. F. Chang's in Boston for a farewell dinner. The room was filled with laughter, cheer, and stories of Kevin. We wrapped up dinner by giving him a photo book of pictures of him hiking with his GO friends and one of our vintage t-shirts. We then strolled over to Boston Common for a festive walk under the holiday lights.  After, we were treated to a dozen irresistible Insomnia Cookies by Kevin.  We walked down to Fanuel Hall, catching the tail-end of a street performance.  We ended our walk in Christopher Columbus Park and the holiday trellis of 50,000 twinkling blue lights.  We were lucky enough to catch a proposal under the trellis, which was incredibly romantic!

Our very best to Kevin on this new chapter of his life!

About this event

Kevin (HPC72) will be moving back to Taiwan this winter.  He has been a wonderful hiking buddy and we are getting together for a meal before he goes.  We are meeting on Saturday, 12/9, at 3 p.m. at P.F. Chang’s in Boston.  The address is 8 Park Plaza D6, Boston, MA 02116.  You can check out the menu here: https://www.pfchangs.com/menu?storeid=5600?utm_source=YextMenu&utm_medium=Directory    

If the weather is nice, we will check out the holiday decorations in Boston Common and the Public Garden after, including the Christmas tree that comes from Nova Scotia every year.  The Frog Pond offers ice skating as well for anyone truly adventurous!

Please sign up if you are interested in going, as I will be making reservations.  I hope you can join us!

Thanks Carl for arranging this activity. I’m really flattered. I was honored to have the chance to hike with all of you guys in the past two years. I’m looking forward to seeing you in Boston.
Love, Kevin.
