Fairly sure it's this guy: http://www.canada411.ca/res/4507533224/Alain-Chevrette/198832065.html.

Which "might" also be this guy, which you may know from looking at his pics: https://www.facebook.com/pompier1957?fref=browse_search

He provided some memorable trip reports here on VFTT in the past, and my impression was that he'd be a helluva backcountry companion if you could keep up with him ...

I remember those reports but don't see his name on the members list now. Just a hunch, but you might check with Yvon, I have a feeling he might know him.
 
I have a picture of him and my friend. He is a legend. He is faster than fast. I felt like we were standing still when he passed us and disappeared in the trees.
 
Alain does not have a FACEBOOK page and the address given above is wrong by miles and miles and miles... and yes he is still hiking in the Adirondacks...
 
I hiked the Santanoni Range in winter with Alain. I could not keep up with him even as he was breaking trail thru +/- 12 " snow. Pin-Pin and Jr are rabbits.
 
Yeah! I was overtaken by him one lovely March afternoon high up on the Allen slide ... had a brief chat with him later on near the bottom, as I believe he and his companion had gone somewhere further along the ridge before heading down. He seemed very joyful.
 
Last I remember was that he had completed 100 rounds of the 46 and was the fifth — I think — finisher of the Northeast 3K list. In pursuit of the latter, he did all of the Catskills’ 3000-footers in one winter despite never having hiked there before.

But what about Tom Sawyer? He was on the verge of finishing the Northeast 3K’s in winter ages ago and I never heard anything more about it.

Here is PinPin with The Queen on October 7, 1999, on their way to Table Top.

So, have you answered the original inquiry privately, or is he deep under cover with CSIS?
I don't believe this is an appropiate venue to disclose/uncover anyone's personal info. This is a public forum with many private members. Furthermore IMHO I think the Mods here should immediately delete any private info posted publically.
