    I met David at the Greater Raleigh Court Civic League meeting last night and got the impression that he is right at home on this beat. Dave, the name of Jay Turner’s book is “The Promise of Wilderness: American Environmental Politics Since 1964.” He is a professor at Wellesley; his dad is the CEO of J. M. Turner Construction here.

    I have been a fan of your work for years,
    All the best in 2013.
