There are few times in life when an event takes place and we are there to experience the event in real time. Bobby Orr scoring the winning Stanley Cup goal. A man landing on the moon. The first president of color. Catching your first trout at Champney Falls. Events that are etched into your memory forever.

On Aug. 5, sitting in my truck at the Sunrise Shack, I listened with great anticipation to the Executive Council meeting. Gov. Chris Sununu’s nominee to become the executive director of Fish and Game, Scott Mason of Stratford, had weathered the storm that surrounded his candidacy. This was the final mile in what has seemed like a marathon.
