Aziscohos Lake Preservation Council
Author Signing Party and Annual Meeting
August 6th, 11:00 -3:00, Bosebuck Mountain Camps
Dear Friends:
You are cordially invited to the annual meeting of the ALPC, dedicated to the preservation and protection of Aziscohos, Parmachenee, Rump Pond and the entire Magalloway River watershed and wilderness.
We have changed the program up a bit this year. Our focus is on entertainment and socialization, rather than fund raising. We have invited four authors who have written books set in this wonderful corner of God’s magnificent creation. They will be on hand to talk about their books, their inspiration and experiences and sign their books. The authors are Bob Romano (North of Easie, Fishing with Faeries, and Shadows in the Stream), Richard “Mike” Gramly (The Adkins Site, and Palaeo-Americans and Palaeo-Environment at the Vail Site, Maine) Bob Cook (Chasing Danforth) and Polly Johnston (Once Upon a Memory)
Bob Romano is a long-time camp owner on Aziscohos with his wife Trish. Bob is an avid flyfisherman. His three highly acclaimed books are rich in description of the waters and fish he loves in the upper Magalloway wilderness.
Mike Gramly’s archeological exploration and digs on Aziscohos and Ledge Ridge are legendary. For more than thirty years, Mike has explored, studied and analyzed the first hunters to visit the Magalloway 12,000 years ago. The evidence he has gathered, provides the most complete picture of the first Americans’ environment and how they lived. More than 15,000 artifacts have been recovered. Mike’s books and numerous papers for archeological journals document his historic work.
Bob Cook, a former camp owner on Parmachenee is working on his second book, a biography of Daniel Heywood and his journal “Diary of a Parmachenee Guide.” His first book, “Chasing Danforth” is a captivating biography of John Danforth, the ambitious and forward thinking entrepreneur and guide who opened and introduced the upper Magalloway wilderness to sportsmen. (At this time, Bob’s schedule is uncertain… his attendance is tentative.)
Polly Johnston, granddaughter of Bosebuck founder Perley Flint grew up at Bosebuck. Her memories of her childhood, her family and extended family at Bosebuck are rich and vivid in detail and photographs. Polly’s biography “Once Upon a Lifetime” brings us back to a simpler time in a special place.
We hope you will accept our invitation to come and meet these authors and others like you, who have allowed this special area to get under our skin, a precious and lasting gift of memories and experiences that no one can ever take away. Space is limited and advance reservations are required.
