Hats Off! to North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame inductee Wilma Dykeman who is one of two "guardians" of North Carolina's rivers featured in the new documentary, Guardians of Our Troubled Waters, by David Weintraub. Dykeman, who died at age eighty-six in 2006, was a writer, historian and social and environmental activist who famously fought for the protection of the river flowing through the heart of Asheville in her 1955 history book, The French Broad. The documentary premieres June 20 in Hendersonville.
