On Schillhammer Road

From the book jacket: "Hub" to friends, family and colleagues, the author is described in the Foreword by naturalist Charles W. Johnson as: ... a cornerstone at the University of Vermont, a selfless teacher, a passionate conservationist, and a man of unusual modesty who willingly shares his knowledge of-and delight in-the natural world. I even heard someone describe him as "a rarity-a botanist with charisma." Now, we all are given the opportunity to know him through his own written words. ON SCHILLHAMMER ROAD: THE LIFE OF A BOTANIST [is] a personal rendering of a life lived close to home and close to nature, each reinforcing the other, bringing real meaning and satisfaction.
