Professor Renwick Griswold is lovingly referred to as Wick…lover of all things Connecticut River. He lectures atht eUniversity of Hartford…and when he is not writing books or hosting museum talks or playing pirate or privateer in full costume, he hangs with us at iCRV Radio. Wick hosts the monthly Connecticut River Drift, where he lets the conversation flow as the currents do…and take us wherever…but usually to a place celebrating the River and River life, past and present.  He also penned a radio serial about the colonization of the Connecticut River whcih shall debut on iCRV Radio this coming Fall….
