Brunswick releases updated book version

A local conservationist has released his second book, an update to a work by Gene Stratton-Porter. 

Ken Brunswick has updated Stratton-Porter’s book, “What I Have Done With Birds,” which she originally published in 1907. The updated version includes information about the places around Geneva where Stratton-Porter took the photographs of birds included in the book, the topography of those areas and the birds that are present there today. 

A previous work of Brunswick’s, “The Limberlost ‘Born Again’: a Lifetime to Restore Gene Stratton-Porter’s Limberlost,” was released last summer. It provides a history of Brunswick’s effort to restore and preserve the Limberlost wetlands. 

Both books are available in the gift shop at the Limberlost State Historic Site, 202 E. 6th St., Geneva. Proceeds will go to wetlands conservation efforts. 

On the list

Three local students were named on the Indiana University – Kokomo dean’s list for the summer session.

On the list were Sheila Bray and Abby Forthofer, both of Portland, and Taran Edwards of Dunkirk.
