Don
Wilding, author of On its Solitary Dune,
the 32-page dedication to Henry Beston and his literary classic,
The Outermost House, for the Eastham 350th Anniversary celebration,
delivered the second of
two lectures -- Henry Beston: An Illustrated Appreciation.
Thirty-four
people turned out for the lecture on Aug. 26. On July 29, 25
souls turned up for the first lecture, and feedback from those in
attendance at both lectures was quite positive.
In
addition to those mentioned in the pages of On its Solitary Dune,
Mr. Wilding wishes to thank the Thornton Burgess Society of Sandwich,
Mass., and the Waldron Family and Butterfly & Wheel Publishing
of Sharon, Mass. and Bethlehem, Conn. for use of the slides; the
local media -- including The Cape Cod Voice, The Cape Cod Times
and The Cape Codder, along with Bob Seay and the staff at WOMR-FM
in Provincetown -- for the advance publicity of the event; the "Van-gabond
of the Dunes," Jon March, and his assistant, Cookie, of The
Power Station for the technical expertise and shooting the video;
John Corvese of Foxboro Photo and Imaging in Foxboro, Mass. for
use of the slide projection equipment; George and Rosemary Abbott
and the rest of the 350th Anniversary publications committee for
arranging all this; and Nita Wilding, for her continuous love and
support.
