New local history book in Maine Collection



Ron Laing has just donated a copy of his recent book, Egypt Road: A Memoir of a Farm Boy to the library. The book is a wonderful account of Ron's life in Westfield, Maine. I just started reading it this weekend and am enjoying it immensely. Ron graduated from Presque Isle High School in 1953 and shares some wonderful memories and photographs in this book.

Ron is a photographer and his work has appeared in
Echoes and other publications. His first book, an African Adventure, contains beautiful photographs of his trip to Kenya. Ron wrote the book to raise money to buy uniforms so children there could attend school.

He lives in Oxford, Maine, with his wife Carolyn Dudley Laing.
