The Wayfinder Schools have been helping at-risk Maine students for decades. In 2011, Maine’s first alternative high school, The Community School, merged with century-old organization Opportunity Farm to form the Wayfinder Schools. Today we speak with Wayfinder board member, Barbara Russo and her husband, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Russo, about their work with the school, their life as a couple for the past 43 years and his newest novel, “Everybody’s Fool.”
