The well known writer of many books on Lake Winnipesaukee and surrounding areas have past away. Many have seen him on the Winnipesaukee Flagship fleet. A great contributor and friend of the Lakes Region will be fondly remembered.
May he rest in peace.
OH that is very sad and a big loss.

That is very sad, he contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the ride around the Lake on the Mount.
My father-in-law, a retired commercial airline captain, met him on a Mount ride and the two of them talked navigation and boat handling for most of the trip - it made the day for my father-in-law.
Bruce, you will be missed.

I purchased Dr. Heald's book "Lake Winnipesaukee" for my wife, (really for both of us) last Christmas. Got a autographed copy from Abe's books. We both enjoy his writing and will now treasure this book.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Heald as my English instructor @ Holy Trinity for grades 6-8. He was the first teacher I had that made learning a truly collaberative effort between instructor and student.
Had the pleasure of having him as my professor for a class in my time at Plymouth State. I ran into him several times in Meredith and usually said hi.
He was a very passionate teacher with a ton of character, energy and excitement. Made a class I wasn't too interested in (War in US History) actually interesting.

I found this thread after googling Dr. Heald to see if I could connect with him and ask a question about a possible inaccuracy in his "Lake Winnipesaukee" book. He passed away the year after we bought our camp and the summer I bought his book (signed).
