Winston's Story
Life
After graduating from Silver Lake in 1964, I moved to Florida where I worked on a windjammer for awhile and then got a job as a layout engineer. Searching for something a bit more "meaningful" I eventually joined VISTA where I worked as photojournalist in Texas and New Mexico during 1969-70.
In 1970 I moved to Los Angeles, CA and from there to San Francisco where I settled down and worked as a photojournalist for four years. In 1974 I made my way back East to teach a course in photojournalism to a group of advanced placement high school students at Bridgewater State College.

became deeply involved in bald eagle field research along the coast of Maine, having founded the Coastal Maine Bald Eagle Project in 1984. I also founded the first sea kayaking company in the eastern US in the late 1970s and conducted tours in the Bar Harbor area for 4 years before ill health forced me to close.
After getting my captain's license in the early 1990s I founded Sea Venture Custom Boat Tours here in Bar Harbor in 1995. Having at last stumbled upon what Joseph Campbell refered to as my "bliss" I have been conducting custom boat tours for the past 9 years in the Bar Harbor area and loving every minute of it.
Although I came close once in the 1970s, I didn't marry until I was 48 when I finally met the right woman. I have been happily married for the past seven years.
