I was a junior at Bangor High School during the fall of 1986. I was enrolled in a wildlife biology class taught by Mr. John Morgan. His class was only for one semester, but I learned more about Maine biology, fish and wildlife resources than I did in any other class I ever took. In the spring of 1987, Mr. Morgan made me aware of a new program called SERVE Maine — State Environmental Resource Volunteer Effort. I was assigned to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Headquarters in Bangor. The contacts I made were invaluable. I went on to work as a winter creel census clerk, summer fisheries assistant, seasonal Warden Service dispatcher, conservation aide, deputy game warden and district game warden. ~ Jim Fahey
