“Secret” Highpointers Handshake


While it seems Highpointers always somehow easily find each other not suprisingly on highpoints, Tim Townsend has proposed a very funny good natured “secret handshake.”

Tim, who completed his 50th state in 2013, explained the handshake to George Johnson during the Maine 2013 convention. George is one of the founding 9 highpointers at the Michigan 1987 convention.

BTW George proposed hosting the 2019 convention in Michigan.
