Twenty-two Lakes Region Community Fritz Wetherbee visiting region Dec. 2 to discuss new collection of stories College students inducted into Phi Theta Kappa honor society Ella DeMark, 3, is all smiles as she displays her father’s rose which signifies purity and beauty of life as well as new intellectual associations in Lakes Region Community College’s (LRCC) Phi Theta Kappa honor society induction ceremony recently. Her dad Ben DeMark of Meredith and 21 other LRCC students were inducted into the recognized honor society for two-year colleges worldwide. DeMark is an Accounting major who maintains a near perfect 3.95 grade point average in his studies. “Ella started her own scholastic endeavors this fall at Lakeland School in Meredith,” says Ben DeMark. “It was incredibly exciting to have her participate in the ceremony, alongside my parents. Balancing a full course load and being a full-time parent is made possible by the support and guidance of the LRCC community; I know that Ella will also experience the rewards that come from academic achievement.” DeMark will receive his Associate Degree this May. He plans on working while continuing to further his education in the accounting field possibly specializing in tax accounting. DeMark hopes to earn his Certified Public Accountants’ license in the future. (Courtesy photo)

ford. He calls himself a “proud provincial.” He has, he says, spent almost all of his life in the Granite State. Over the years he has worked at everything from tree climbing to being the Creative Director in an ad agency. “I know the state very well,” he said, “I have met all the Governors from Sherman Adams on, and I’ve read most of the town histories.” For ten years Fritz was the host of New Hampshire Crossroads on New Hampshire Public Television. For the past ten years he has written and presented a different nightly story on N. H. Chronicle. His segment is called, Fritz Wetherbee’s New Hampshire.
“I do historic stuff and funny stuff and personal stories. The only limits I have are that the stories are never to get old. We should be able to repeat any story in ten years and, aside from the car I am driving, no one should know its an old piece. And,” he says, “all my stories must be about New Hampshire.” Fritz lives with his “better half”, Laura in a two-hundredtwenty-year-old home in Acworth (“The first town in the state,” he says,”...alphabetically.”) For additional information or to reserve copies of “Fritz Wetherbee, Milestone” call 2538858 for Bayswater and 569-6030 for The Country Bookseller.
