One of my writing collaborators while attending the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies was Bill Lascher. He was and still is a passionate and talented writer living in the other Portland -- Portland, Oregon -- and hopefully we can collaborate again someday. Bill created the words and I made the photos for a story on the Northland Hotel in Jackman, Maine, a very special place near and dear to both of our hearts, about 17 miles from the Canadian border, northwest of Portland, Maine. This post is making me realize that I don't even have these photos posted on my own blog, but fortunately Bill does on his and there is also a link on the Northland website. Read the story here.
Bill's latest project is about Melville Jacoby, a journalist during the 1940's and part of Bill's own lineage. He died when he was only 25, but those few years were rife with adventure many of us will never experience in our comparably long lifetimes. Mel never got to write his book, so Bill is going to.
Please check out his story on Kickstarter and contribute if you can. Even a small amount is appreciated. And for those of you not familiar with Kickstarter (I was not), your donation as a Backer is only spent if the project is fully funded. He has about 45% pledged of his $25,000 goal.
Spread the word. Thank you.
