Comments: Richard Dick Beston Day was born May 26, 1920. He attended several schools, including the Castner Grammar School in Damariscotta, Lincoln Academy in Newcastle, Laguna Beach and Hollywood High schools in California, the University of Maine at Orono, plus graduate studies at University of Massachusetts, Cornell University, Virginia Polytechnic, and the University of Maine. A lifelong lover of nature, woodcraft and gardening, he spent many hours in each of these pursuits. This included wilderness camping in Baxter State Park, along with volunteer trail grooming. For a time he did seasonal craft work with his father Maurice Jake Day in the Whittle Shop in Damariscotta. In this same line of work, he was engaged in a public television series on the gathering, preparation and use of both fresh water and salt-water driftwood as a craft component. He authored and illustrated an Extension publication on driftwood.
