AUBURN — Author John Ford, a native Mainer, will share humorous stories from his book “Suddenly the Cider Didn’t Taste So Good: Adventures of a Game Warden in Maine” on Tuesday, July 31, at the Auburn Public Library.

Ford, who spent all of his 20-year career as a warden in Waldo County, was sworn in as a Maine Game Warden shortly after finishing up a four-year stint in the U.S. Air Force. During that time, he was shot at by desperate prison escapees, outwitted by wily trappers and rescued scores of animals. 

The reading/book signing will be at 2 p.m. at the library, 49 Spring St.
