Red-backed Salamander from Soldiers Delight Journal REVISITED

Prairie Moon from SDJ REVISITED

We are saddened by the death of Jean Worthley on April 10, 2017, at the age of 92. Among her many achievements, she was instrumental in helping to save the Soldiers Delight NEA, and in calling attention to its beauty throughout her long life. She was not merely a brilliant botanist and teacher, but a kind, intelligent, and compassionate person, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

2016 marked the 25th anniversary of SOLDIERS DELIGHT JOURNAL. To celebrate Soldiers Delight and this occasion, Jack, and photographer Frank Wisniewski, produced a quality photo art book called SOLDIERS DELIGHT JOURNAL REVISITED: A PHOTOGRAPHIC RAMBLE. Striking passages from SOLDIERS DELIGHT JOURNAL have been illustrated by vivid, large-format color photos.

The first printing has sold out. To purchase a copy from the second printing, please call or visit the Soldiers Delight NEA Visitor Center, 5100 Deer Park Road, Owings Mills, MD, during its hours of operation, or e-mail Jack at this website.

Also, visit the Soldiers Delight Conservation, Inc. website for additional details and an audio podcast of Jack's interview with Dan Rodricks. See www.soldiersdelight.org _____________________________________________

Jack's NEW MILLENNIUM JOURNAL takes his creative non-fiction in a surprising new direction. Sub-titled "Confessions of a Doubter", this book, like his three recent novels, explores the boundaries between hopefulness and despair in an increasingly stressful and perplexing modern world.
