The Pond

Connie Brown, author and editor, conceived the idea and saw it through to completion. She is a 50 year resident on the pond. Brian Fowler, a retired Engineering Geologist with 35 years consulting experience in the mining and heavy construction industries, has authored numerous peer-reviewed maps and professional papers, including the only scientific study of the Old Man of The Mountain. He cooperates on mapping projects for the U.S. and N.H. Geological Surveys and conducts independent research on the deglaciation of the White Mountains. He is a Past-President and Life Trustee of the Mount Washington Observatory, the founder of the Mountain Rescue Service, and an Advisor to the Mountain Studies Institute in Colorado. Lee Pollock, author of scientific texts in his field, taught aquatic ecology for 35 years at Drew University in New Jersey. He received his undergraduate degree from Bates College in Maine, a graduate degree from the University of New Hampshire and research experience at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole. Currently he is immersed in his science interests - conducting stream water-quality studies for watersheds in New Jersey and also the Mt. Washington Valley. The opportunity to participate in the MPEP lake-bottom coring project, described in The Pond, offered an exciting new link to the paleohistory of the area. He also volunteers in the Henney History Room of the Conway Public Library and spent hours researching material for this book.
