Fifteen pithy, humorous, and heartwarming autobiographical pieces describe either trips Willem Lange has taken--to Alaska, France, Texas, and elsewhere--or, in a metaphorical sense, the long journey of his own life. As always, embedded unobtrusively within his tales, are profound ruminations on life and death, love, nature, and God. "I have noticed how much my joy in people has run as a bright thread through the whole fabric of my life," he explains. "The stories in this collection are about some of those people who in the last fifty years have brightened or darkened--but always enlarged--my life. They are my constant companions on the luminous little brooks of memory."

Trade paperback. Etat : Very good. First Printing [Stated]. ix, [3], 102, [6] pages. Inscribed and dated by the author on half-title. Willem Lange was born in 1935 and first came to New England to prep school in 1950 as an alternative to reform school in his native New York State. During a few absences from New England, Will earned a degree in only nine years at the College of Wooster in Ohio. After graduating in 1962, he taught high school English in northern New York, filling in summers as an Outward Bound instructor. From 1968 to 1972 Will directed the Dartmouth Outward Bound Center. From 1972 until his "retirement" in 2007, he was a building and remodeling contractor in Hanover. He's an adopted member of the Dartmouth Class of 1957. In 1981 he began writing a weekly column, "A Yankee Notebook," which appears in several New England newspapers. He's a commentator or host for Vermont Public Radio and both Vermont and New Hampshire Public Television. His annual readings of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol began in 1975 and continue unabated. He's published several audio recordings and nine books and received four Emmy nominations, and won one for his work as the long-running host of New Hampshire Public Television's award-winning show "Windows to the Wild". In 1973 Will founded the Geriatric Adventure Society, a group of outdoor enthusiasts whose members have skied the 200-mile Alaska Marathon, climbed in Alaska, the Andes, and Himalayas, bushwhacked on skis through northern New England, and paddled rivers north of the Arctic Circle. Fifteen pithy, humorous, and heartwarming autobiographical pieces describe either trips Willem Lange has taken to Alaska, France, Texas, and elsewhere or, in a metaphorical sense, the long journey of his own life. As always, embedded unobtrusively within his tales, are profound ruminations on life and death, love, nature, and God.
