Hi Folks-- Just seeing this now!
The immediate family didn't contribute much, but I communicated with them before starting and said if they objected, I woud not write the book. They didn't.
I...
Thank you, brother. (You look like and write like my older brother Raymond-- who we called "Rain Man!")

Hi All,
Here is a recent radio show discussing the new book about Gerry Largay's ordeal, and the lesson's within.

Well said, Suzzz. I hope you get a chance to read the book. I think you'll be happy with it.--Dee www.ddauphinee.com
Agree, Mainiac64.
For # 73...
I took us 4 hours to walk straight in from the closest place to park. I had already been into the site several times, so I knew where we were going. We spent about 1 1/2 hours there...
Yes-- a great deal more, with some corrections. Those were feature pieces; this is a book (childhood, hiking relationships, friends, conversations, fears, decisions, gear, weather, wardens, SAR, Navy...
Good point. The book is kind-- we should all strive to be.
Well, it took a while, but the book is finished. Out next June, here's a blog link with info.

Question Bronco;
Might Skywatcher be the same person who spent the night with Gerry Largay (Inchworm), her hiking partner Jane, and Tenderfoot at Cogdon Camp early in June 2013?...Researching for...
Shelb...could you please snap a photo of the token and send it to me? I'd love to see it. Thanks! --Dee... [email protected]
(You and I are about the same age, I think...and we're still young!)
Tipi--I've read your posts, and you're spot on. In the book, I go into the spatial orientation some people have/don't have in some detail. There are some lessons in the book, especially for you young...
Hi, rickb--The Maine Warden Service has been great. Interviews, emails, ride-alongs...very helpful. It still stings for them, though. I have spoken with a few of the volunteers, but I've focused...
Good point, C...covered in the book: the Navy searchers, the wardens, and some of the volunteers were using three different types of maps, with differing datums!
Some family and friends-- but George wanted to not be involved...surely he still morns, and I respect that, so I've left him alone. Didn't want to put him in an uncomfortable position. The best...
Bingo Suzzz, You more than most should enjoy the book (out next season). You bring up most of the points that made me agree (reluctantly) to write this book. (I was under contract for a novel which I...
Hey shelb, This is Dee (author of the book). I've heard of those tokens; do you have a photo of it, or could you snap a pic please? I'd love to see one. email: [email protected]
Bingo! (This is Dee Dauphineee...the author of the book.) But there's a lot more interesting stuff in it. But...Bingo!
So right, EB, I try to convey that in the book.-Dee
The book will be out next season. A homage to Gerry's will to try, and lessons for all of us; for the Search & Rescue community, hikers...and just people. A lot of unseen information.
