Dennis M Stone

Dennis M Stone grew up in Potsdam, New York, near the Adirondack Park. After graduating from high school, he hitchhiked across the country, which became a common means of transportation over the next decade. Being somewhat of a bum, he still managed to obtain several college degrees and work seasonal federal jobs for the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service, where he became a permanent employee and retired in 2019. Somehow, he authored some scientific publications and got married to Kathy, had two daughters, Ashley—girl and Kyla—monster, and now has seven grandkids.
