Sunapee Moon was written in honor of Kathleen Weathers and her dedication to the preservation of Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire. It was presented as a gift to Kathleen (Kathie) at the 19th meeting of the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network held at the Mohonk Mountain House in upstate New York, November 2017.
Lake Sunapee has been home to the Weathers family for generations. Kathie, along with her colleagues at the Lake Sunapee Protective Association, have been stewards of the lake, always working to protect and elevate its importance within the community. While the qualities of Lake Sunapee are pristine in the memories of our youth, change is inevitable. The harsh reality of daylight highlights change, but in the moonlight, the hard edges are softened and the stark contrasts are blended, enabling us to see our memories.
