| 13376 | Lantern Walk and Story Telling at the Causeway |

| Photographer George Soules posted the following on his blog for Nov 16, 2013: Last night the Southwest Harbor Public Library on Mount Desert Island held a Lantern Walk. "As the days start to grow shorter we start to think about light and ways we can celebrate it. A lantern walk is an observance of the changing season." In preparation for this event, all were invited to come to the library the Thursday before to make lanterns. Janice was there as a volunteer helping the children glue colored paper onto tall glass wide mouth jars. On Friday, participants met at 5:00 PM at the High Road parking lot in Southwest Harbor and walked down Causeway Lane with lanterns lit. Then, aided by the glow of a full moon, they carefully navigated the path down to the water and gathered on the rocks for some storytelling before heading back. Janice and I tagged along with the hope of getting some pictures that captured the feel of this magical evening. I used a Canon 5D Marl II DSLR mounted on a tripod with a Canon 24-70mm lens at f/2.8. I exposed the scene for 2 seconds at ISO 1600. Thanks to the moonlight, the surrounding area was nicely exposed as well. |

| 14849 | Long - Ralph H. Long, Jr. (1932-1992) aka Bud |
|
|
|
| Ralph "Bud" Long was born in Somesville at the Lying-in-Hospital on September 15, 1932 to Ralph Hamilton Long, Sr. and Idabelle Conley Worcester. His grandfather was Ben Conley Worcester a woodsman who took his first grandchild out into the woods at a very young age teaching him to be comfortable in that environment. During World War II, Bud’s father worked overseas with the Red Cross and Bud lived with his mother, brother, Ben and sisters, Molly and Mary Lou with their grandparents in Southwest Harbor. At a young age, Bud became fascinated with birds – he joined a birding group probably as the youngest member. When in 7th grade, his mother would drop him off at the Wonderland Trail with his binoculars, field guide and his lunch and pick him up in time for dinner. When he was in high school, Hal H. Harrison visited the island to film birds and when he asked the park “who was the best birder on the island?” they suggested he contact Bud. He developed a reputation as the expert in that field. Upon graduation from Pemetic High School in Southwest Harbor, he earned a scholarship to Cornell University where he majored in Ornithology and Biology. Upon graduation, he accepted a job in Duxbury, Massachusetts teaching Biology where he met his future wife, Patricia Redlon. They often returned to Mount Desert Island as they raised their four children: Wendy, Caryn, Tanya and Garrett. While he was teaching at Dean Junior College, his grandfather offered him land on the Cape Road in Tremont where they summered so he was able to continue his love of birding. At some point Hal taught him the art of locating bird nests and photographing the birds. When the opportunity to return permanently to the island, he accepted the job at Mt. Desert High School while they lived in Southwest Harbor raising their young family. James Bond became aware of Bud at some point and they began a friendship that lasted for many years. When James Bond made the decision to end publishing The Native Birds of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park, he asked Bud to continue to publish the pamphlet which he did. He dedicated the first edition to his wife, Patricia. For a number of years the family had run the Downeast Clam Bake at his uncle’s Smuggler’s Den Campground in the evenings in the summer months. Patricia died in 1982 of lung cancer when Garrett was a senior at the high school. In 1983, he married Alice MacDonald Potter who was the widow of the President of the Downeast Audubon Chapter. Bud continued to hunt for proof of a bird nesting on the island and photographing those nests. The second edition of Native Birds of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park was completed in 1987 and dedicated to his two mentors, Hal H. Harrison and James Bond. Bud often mentioned how scarce some species of birds were becoming probably due to loss of habitat and how some southern species were showing up on the island. He was an expert who knew the bird calls and what habitat different species needed to raise their young. He died of colon cancer January 7, 1992. Both Hal and James Bond have died since then ending their years together sharing their love of birds. |

| 15441 | Fagans - Lester Fagans (1901-1964) |
|
|
|
| The following comes from an article in Soundings by Steve Knauth. Lester Fagans was a top commercial illustrator and painter through three decades, honored by the American Merchant Marine Institute as “one of the country’s leading contemporary marine artists.” Fagans was known early on for his detailed boat portraits. A 1939 work, Breezy Day, shows Henry Gibson’s powerboat Vesta, built by Hubert Johnson’s yard in Bay Head, New Jersey. After serving in the South Pacific during World War II, Fagans began a career in commercial art, working for a variety of companies. He did road maps for Esso (Standard Oil); illustrated articles for Popular Science (one on “How to Drive” required Fagans to do extensive study of accident photographs); and a series of cutaway drawings of a centrifuge (for an article on supersonic aviation). His finely done posters for the shipping companies Moore-McCormack, Grace Lines and American Export Lines helped publicize their new fleets of ocean liners. But he’s perhaps best known for his work in the recreational boating field. The boating business was booming in the 1950s and ’60s, with new boats, new designs and new technology to excite the buying public. Fagans helped show it all off through his magazine article illustrations and covers. He also did drawings for the so-called “Bible of Boating,” Chapman Piloting: Seamanship and Small Boat Handing. Self-effacing, Fagans worked with what he called “quick sketches” and “no ideas.” He described himself as a guy who has to work “pretty hard” and “once in a while receives a check.” He was active as an artist in the Chatham, Massachusetts, community that was his home. Countless entries in the Chatham Press announced lessons and demonstrations for civic groups and schoolchildren. Fagans died in 1964. To those with whom he worked, he was known for his draftsmanship and attention to detail. As an illustrator, one publication noted, Lester Fagans was a “popular choice.” This article originally appeared in the April 2017 issue. |
