Back to see Dwight McCarter again with Tales from Lost!  They had to break down the wall between rooms to seat everyone for his talk.  Dwight is a truly gifted storyteller.  Tonight he recounted the story of tracking a 9 year old girl lost near Clingman’s Dome.  He could tell by the tracks he was getting closer, and that she had veered off the trail.  He thought she was running from him (don’t we tell our children not to talk to strangers?)  Rather than continue chasing this little girl off trail and towards the dangerous bluffs, he sat down in the middle of the trail (within sight of the girl), fired up his stove and made tea while he radioed for the parents.  When they arrived, the girl ran out of the woods and into their arms.

Dwight also mentioned numerous books he has written that are as yet unpublished.  I look forward eagerly to their publication.
