Humes Jr. '54 has all the features commonly associated with the life of a maverick, a man who insists on swimming upstream.

Then, late in the afternoon, Walsh and his helpers loaded the cages into boats and cruised up one of the more than 30 rivers that feed into the Bayano Dam reservoir. Far upstream in what he called an "ecologically secure area," he released them, taking care, for example, to place a two-toed sloth safely on a low-hanging branch of a tree...
