Remembering The Old Man of the Mountain
He was a very old man, born an estimated 2,000 to 10,000 years ago during the post-glacial period, but still, his passing was deeply mourned by New Englanders and, in particular, New Hampshire residents. I am talking, of course, about The Old Man of the Mountain, whose stony countenance vanished overnight and was discovered missing on May 3, 2003.
