A little bit of history

Yesterday, Mary Anderson turned 100.

Who is Mary Anderson?

Mary is the co-founder of REI with her husband, Lloyd, who died about 5 years ago at 96.

Mary is in great spirits and is very sharp. She started her remarks today by saying, "Sally (CEO) said I could say whatever I wanted." And then she smirked.

I'm honored to work for the company she started, and I am proud that she has reached such a venerable age so well. See what walking in the mountains can do for you?
