Jack Noon is a writer and outdoorsman from Sutton. Ever since his grandfather taught him to fish when he was five years old, he?s been fascinated with the outdoors and fishing. His new book, Fishing in New Hampshire: A History, is about fish and fishers in the area, but also about human impact and environmental change- from over fishing, to dam building, to the introduction of new species, and more. Jack has written several books, fiction and non-fiction, all about his home state of New Hampshire.
When he's not writing, Jack is an avid outdoorsman. He has held a series of jobs that involve being outside- loon biologist, Outward Bound guide, and running the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge for Dartmouth College.

Many political analysts see New Hampshire as one of the key battleground states in the upcoming presidential election.

A recent poll suggests that Democrat John Kerry's lead in the state has shrunk significantly since the primary.

If the Massachusetts Senator wants to carry the state he must convince all the Democrats and many Independents that he is their man.

And that means he has to rally the voters who call themselves Deaniacs.
