Dean Lunt, founder and editor-in-chief of Yarmouth-based Islandport Press, which published “Maine Trivia,” will speak about the book in January as a featured speaker at the Kennebec Historical Society.
The show will be available on Facebook Live on Wednesday, January 18th at 6:30 PM.
According to a news release by Scott Wood, the association’s executive director, a typical moose lives between 15 and 25 years. The book itself, on the other hand, is 10 years older than him and countless. And this fall, the arrival of a second edition by John MacDonald and Runt suggests it will last much longer than your average elk.
