In the words of Henry David Thoreau: “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. now put the foundations under them.”  Thoreau wasn’t writing about constructing actual castles, but realizing one’s dreams. Sean Hurleyfound a North Country man who’s castle in the air is actually a castle…and he’s building it. Sean takes us on this radio field trip to the kingdom of Thornton.
