| Abstract: | An angler dreams of a rising rainbow, chooses just the precise fly currently hatching in order to complete the dream of a mountain stream battle that would ensue. The fly must land and drift perfectly so that the trout will be fooled. A camper dreams of just the right location for a warm fire to rest his tent where he will be protected from the wind, yet be able to view the natural beauty surrounding him. A scientist hopes that by pursuing his love of truth and awe of the unknown, he will be contributing to the benefit of his fellow man. Once upon a time, just such a scientist began such a career on the island of Mount Desert. He not only fulfilled his scientific dreams, but also in later years would enjoy the tranquility of nature, open space and the big skies. This is a chronicle of one aspect of his scientific contribution to his fellow man. |
