Stephen Madden

Stephen Madden had his interest in limnology (the study of bodies of fresh water) whetted "far above Cayuga's waters" in New York's Finger Lakes region, first as a student at Cornell and later as editor of Cornell Magazine. He brought this pool of knowledge to his article on the effects of tourism on Lake Tahoe . Stephen is now the editor of Outdoor Explorer magazine ("Real Adventure, Real People") and the father of a baby boy, Luke Thompson Madden (talk about a real adventure).

Stephen headed for Hawaii and discovered that the ancient art of feather craft is flourishing in Waikiki.
