Dauphinee will be accompanied by his research assistant, Doug Comstock. The title is a quote from Largay’s journal after she became lost July 2013, an event that rivetted the region until her remains were found in October 2015.
The event, open to the public, will be held outdoors under a canopy, providing for proper distancing. Admission is free of charge, but donations are welcome. Among other services, contributions are used to provide community events such as this one. The book is available at the Library for reading before Dauphinee’s visit.
There will also be two discussion groups before the event, at 11 a.m. Wednesday, May 12, and Saturday, May 15.
Dauphinee, who lives in Bradley, is a mountaineering, fly-fishing and back-country guide for more than 30 years, has participated in several search-and-rescue expeditions. In addition to “When You Find My Body,” he has written articles on fly fishing, a collection of which has been published in his book “Stoneflies & Turtleheads,” about fly fishing in Maine and around the world.
