     A collection of first-person Maine Coast stories illustrating vivid
imagination and persistence in overcoming bureaucratic obstacles involving the workings of college presidents, U.S. senators, fishermen, officials of major state and federal agencies, the Supreme Court, two governors, and the paramount bete noir, Aristotle Socrates Onassis.

     "A fascinating tale-in-detail of the conception, birth, and early years of the Shoals Marine Laboratory. The seas were often rough between the very real mainland and the school of marine sciences for undergraduates. From the beginnings the students were and have remained the project's strongest supporters. To learn how they did it, you must read this book. It is heart warming. [The author] writes well, too."

Prof. Frederick T. McGill, Jr., Star Island Historian
