Here's what they're saying about Don Wilding and the lectures …

“Don Wilding knows more about Henry Beston than Henry Beston did ..."
-- The Cape Cod Voice, 2001

“Don is 'Mr. Outermost House.'"
-- Paul Pronovost, Editor-in-Chief,
The Cape Cod Times, 2008

“One of the largest crowds we've ever had for a program ... it was very well received. Thank you so much for your time and expertise."
-- Sharon Sullivan, Truro Library, March 2008

"The program ... was wonderful at pulling together the various topics and making the story local and relative to everyone in the audience. The video interviews were fantastic and have provided a great record of this significant event."
-- Sue Haley, Cape Cod National Seashore, on the "Blizzard of '78" program, February 2008

I would like to thank you for the wonderful presentation . I have heard a lot of positive response from it. We also love the book ("Henry Beston's Cape Cod.").
-- Gail Molloy, Cotuit Friends of the Library, March 2008

“Don Wilding of the Henry Beston Society ... put on a very interesting multi media show complete with the voices of Henry Beston, and Harvey Moore, who built the cabin for Henry. We were pleased to see that many people who had not attended the supper came to hear the speaker because of the interesting subject. A wonderful event.”
-- The Eastham Historical Society, October 2005

“Thanks so much for the excellent lecture. It was wonderful to get the ‘inside scoop’ on Beston and his ill-fated house on the beach -- such great photos and audio clips.”
-- Todd Gernes, Emerson College, Nov. 2006

“The feedback ... has been overwhelmingly positive.”
-- Ken Goodale, Capt. Nathan Hale Middle School, Coventry, Conn.

“Thanks so much for the wonderful lecture and slide show at the Marine Biological Laboratory. Everyone really enjoyed it. Your passion for Henry Beston and The Outermost House is evident and the presentation that you've put together is impressive!”
-- Gina Hebert, Woods Hole Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass.
