Welcome to our monthly blog, “In Dick’s Words.” Here Friends of Dick Proenneke will publish an excerpt from one of Dick’s journal entries that reflects what he was building or thinking about in that month. Each post will lead us on a journey through Twin Lake’s seasons by highlighting Dick’s words and first-hand accounts of his life in what would become Lake Clark National Park.
We hope you will enjoy reading this new addition to the website and learning more about Dick’s writing and experiences.
