SHELBURNE — On Oct. 19, the Shelburne Trails Club hosted a hike and a dedication to name the foot-path to Ray’s Pond from Shelburne’s Mount Ingalls summit in honor of longtime Shelburne resident John Gralenski. 

Gralenski passed away in September and left a lasting legacy in the town of Shelburne. In addition to serving as a selectman and member of the conservation commission, he was the hiking club’s go-to guy to learn the history of many of Shelburne’s “lost trails” that the Shelburne Trails Club has restored over the past decade.
