On Wednesday, July 31, Downeast Lakes Land Trust is pleased to welcome local author and Grand Lake Stream’s own Dale Wheaton for an insider’s look at his new book, Behind The Cast. Dale will recall some of his favorite tales and hilarious moments from a lifetime spent guiding in the Downeast Lakes region. Meet in the Grand Lake Stream School Building at 6 pm. For more information, please contact DLLT at (207) 796 – 2100 or info@downeastlakes.org.
“What Wheaton teaches us right off the bat is that, when you guide, the people are unforgettable, not the fish. With razor sharp wit and delightful descriptions, a dab of psychoanalysis and well-honed philosophy, Wheaton portrays and profiles the most memorable sports who shared his canoe. That he is able to do this in a way that is simultaneously hilarious and heartwarming and never mean-spirited is a tribute not only to his skill as a writer but to his decent nature as a person and licensed guide.” -V.
