#100by100? Looking for totals from the early 2000s

 Bill Yeadon's #75by75 goal got me thinking about the upcoming centennial of Le Conte Lodge. What's the chance that by 2026, the Le Conte Log honor roll could hit #100by100, with a hundred hikers over 100 climbs?

Ron Valentine has climbed Mount Le Conte
more than anyone else, with about 4,000 trips
since his first hike at age 13 on July 4, 1946.
 He is pictured with Teri Samples.

 As of April 1, 2020, I have documented 74 hikers who have climbed the mountain at least 100 times. I know of a few others that I am still trying to verify. I have a hunch that the late James "Pop" Hollandsworth of Asheville belongs on the list, and I hope to research his journals as soon as possible.
 Several other hikers are closing in on 100. Yeadon, Sandy Martin, Pamela Lewis Barrs, John D. Williams, and Melissa Coatney have all expressed goals of #100.
 Adam Gravett made 39 climbs in 2019 to raise his total to 59. If he keeps that pace, he'll be well past 100 by 2025. Timothy Massey has a goal of 20 ascents in 2020, which would get him to 72. 
 If all those come through, we'll be close to 90 climbers with 100 hikes by 2025. I suspect there are more that I haven't yet identified. There is a four-year gap between my research (started in 2012) and the exhaustive hiking journal of Ed Wright (whose last last summit hike was in 2008).
