"This is a grand account by a masterful and unselfconscious storyteller, and there are few that won’t find within them their own ‘Wendell’ in search of the stormy port called home."-Arnold Weisenberg, Maine nature photographer"It is written in the same way that Wendell, great storyteller that he is, talks…Woven through are truths and philosophical viewpoints from which we all could benefit."-Muriel Trask Davisson, Director of Genetic Resources, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine"In this day of fast-paced, disposable lifestyles, Wendell Seavey is a voice from the past, reflecting a bygone era. These tales capture the speaker’s rhythm and cadence. His accounts of people living in a close-knit community remind us of the dramatic changes in our society. We all need to remember where we have come from an the impact that small changes have on our future."-Ronald Johnson, fisherman
