Laura Waterman was married to Guy for nearly 30 years. They undertook the trail maintenance and stewardship of the Franconia Ridge in New Hampshire's White Mountains in 1980. It was through this work of nearly two decades that they formed a close attachment to the Alpine areas of the Northeast, which became central in their lives and in their writing. The books they wrote together on the mountain history and environmental issues of the Northeast include Backwood Ethics and Wilderness Ethics. Laura now resides in East Corinth, Vermont.

Previously, Val worked for several non-profits and educational institutions including the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the Green Mountain Club, and the Wildlands Program.

Annie Bellerose, formerly a steward on Guy and Laura's homestead Barra, has worked for the Appalachian Mountain Club, the Adirondack Mountain Club, and The Hulbert Outdoor Center.
