Stuart,
You knew Harry Middleton? I am a huge fan of his books. What kind of man did he strike you as? I've tried to find more information on the guy and can't find anything. I'm just curious as to what kind of person he was outside the relm of his books.
Thanks, Daniel [e-mail]

Are you talking about the author of "The Earth is Enough" ?? Jim Asbury

Does anyone know if the Harry Middleton Lectureship is named for this Harry Middleton? Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson (Ladybird) established the Harry Middleton Lectureship in 1994.

The Harry Middleton Lectureship is not named for the Harry Middleton of Starlight Creek.

I believe the Harry Middleton you refer to was a speechwriter for President Johnson and later the director of the LBJ Library & Museum.

While he certainly wrote, I don't know if he ever lifted a flyrod!

Does any know the identity of any of the characters named in "The Spine of Time"?

Mr. Ashworth,
I have done a lot of research on Middlton and discovered a lot about him. My question to you is this, Why didn't you read any of his books?

Well, have you shared any yet? I am so curious to know more about him. I just finished reading, in a row, three of his memoirs. So precious, deep and funny . Such language! So apt at description of the natural world including the peculiarities of us two-leggeds!

yes , hes the one and the same. I think my brother and I picked him up hitchhiking back to his car after a days fishing back in the 80s in the WNC mtns. Later I read his books and they are the best of any others old or new.

The New York Investor ( On The Spine Of Time) was actually from the Southern Part of the country.
