I first became aware of Laudholm Trust and its effort to establish the Wells Reserve early in 1986. I made a small donation to the cause and soon, before ever visiting the nascent reserve, moved across the country. I continued to root for the trust and the reserve from afar, newsletters and occasional letters from Mort keeping me engaged against the odds.
Some years later, on a trip back to New England, I finally managed my first walk, my first entry into the Laudholm farmhouse. From then on, I felt myself drawn back but only rarely returned to this wonderful place.
More than a decade after departing I had freshly moved back to Maine when an incredibly apt help wanted ad appeared before my eyes (thanks, Sue). I ended up employed here for 24 years. Wow.
As I move on, I am still rooting for the reserve and tuned into the trust. I hope you will be too.
