Stan Patey--Author is a book publisher with more than ten years' experience creating visual books for fine artists and graphic design professionals. Previous to his publishing career, he worked as a school superintendent in four New England communities for twenty-five years. A native of New England, Patey has a deep love for the area and its people. His fascination with the coastline began in 1962, when he purchased a twenty-four-foot sloop. Since that time his experience visiting New England's coastal communities has included many trips Down East with his family on their Sabre thirty-eight-foot sloop, the "Confidence II." Ron Harnish--Pilot and Advisor, a veteran Delta Airline Captain and pilot of 40 years, helped to make this book come to life by his piloting of the airplane as well as his in-depth knowledge of the hundreds of miles of the New England coast, bays, islands, and rivers. This knowledge was gained from twenty-five years of sailing our coast out of Sandy Bay, Rockport, Massachusetts, in the classic bright-sided wooden yawl "Sona." Laurence R. Lowrey--Photographer was the major aerial photographer for the book. His career began in 1945, and he is currently based in Hamilton, Massachusetts. Lowry's work has taken him from the Arctic to Africa, and his photographs have appeared in "Time, Life, Fortune, Holiday, National Geographic, American Heritage," and "Audubon" magazines. See less
