Another Gasport-themed book that would make a great Christmas present is the recent release by retired DEC officer, former Roy-Hart wrestling coach, and former Royalton supervisor Dick Lang.
It's an easy and fun read that's a collection of adventures from his days with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.
Entitled "Behind The Badge: My Life as a Game Warden", the 368-page tome is described as follows:
Whoever thought conservation work could be so exciting! After 34 years as a New York State Environmental Conservation Officer, Dick Lang has more stories than could fit into any one volume. Join him as he watches a fellow officer give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a deer, runs high-speed chases after dark, moves a cougar in the patrol car, finds a skeleton in the trunk of a car, and many more fun stories. Told in Dick’s comfortable, easy-to-read style and embellished with photos and illustrations, this is a book that will appeal to all ages and is a tribute to the dedication of our Environmental Conservation Officers, regardless of which state they patrol.
You can get a signed copy for $20 from Dick Lang himself. Call him at 716.433.7748 or email him at glang3@rochester.rr.com
