I have had a couple of nice mentions this month in articles on completely different topics. In the June issue of Backpacker magazine one of my stories about calling in a moose as a pull quote. Shortened for sure but still there I am on page 42. The best part of that one is the call I received late one evening from my oldest son. Expecting the worst I was stunned to hear him say “Dad did you know that you are in Backpacker magazine?” I replied that no I did not but had talked with a writer last winter. Not to quibble but they called me a certified Maine Guide apparently they do not know that Guides in Maine are Registered.
In the July Maine Sportsman Editor Harry Vanderwiede has an editorial about the need for new leadership at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife mentions me. “I’ll simply observe that Don Kleiner, a person many believe was the best I&E head the Department ever had, lost his job because of political, not performance reasons.” Harry thank you very much for the compliment. Humbly noted and very much appreciated!
