SKI contributing editor Ken Castle conducted more than 100 interviews for this series. He has been an award-winning environmental writer since 1968, when he served as the environmental beat reporter for a daily newspaper in the San Francisco Bay Area.

While at the Mercury News and Chronicle, Castle initiated efforts to educate children about the environment and to preserve Lake Tahoe’s health.
