ORONO — Edward “Sandy” Ives, who retired from the University of Maine in 1999 after 44 years on the faculty, first in English and later in anthropology, will be the presenter at UMaine’s Page Farm and Home Museum’s next brown bag lecture. The talk is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 12 noon.
The subject will be “The Poacher Reconsidered or How I Found a Man Named George Magoon While I Was Busy Looking for Something Else: Serendipity Strikes Again.” It is based on Ives’ book “George Magoon and the Down-East Game Wars.” Magoon was a well-known poacher and Ives’ book explores the tension between local hunters and authorities attempting to impose and enforce game laws.
Those planning to attend can either bring lunch with them or order one from the museum. Lunches cost $4.50 and must be ordered by Sept. 29. To order lunch or for more information about the event, call 581-4100.
Admission to the program is free.
