Warner’s final documentary will immerse many viewers

Dick Warner, the naturalist and inspirational writer who graced these pages for many years died in June. 

He, almost inevitably, died while afloat on the Shannon. His last moments must have been, or at least I hope they were, bathed in light reflected from water — just as most of his life was.

Just like those other great conduits to the waters and the wild Norman Maclean, the author of A River Runs Through It, or Thomas McGuane in The Longest Silence, Warner’s life was framed by flowing, sparkling life-giving water.
