A welcome home on Monday evening for 75 youths who completed a nine-day backpacking trip in the Sierras turned into a reunion for trip alumni of the past 50 years who gathered in Poway to remember the program's founder. Eddie Lindros, 81, died on July 26 while hiking on a Lake Hodges trail near his home at Casa de las Campanas in Rancho Bernardo. He left at 10:30 a.m., but did not return home by the afternoon. His wife, Joyce, called 911 and a San Diego County Sheriff's helicopter crew spotted his body around 2:30 p.
