After 44 years of dedicated service managing two of Maine’s most iconic rivers, I am calling it a career, retiring on March 31. I began my profession as an assistant ranger right out of the University of Maine as green as they come. As I move into retirement, I see myself as the mentor, tutor and leader of a very dedicated group of waterway rangers. When I interviewed for this job as superintendent, I told the panel that one of my goals was to leave the waterway on a high note, and Lord willing, I will accomplish that goal. ~ Matt LaRoche, Superintendent, Allagash Wilderness Waterway
