''Bud'' Leavitt Jr. (1917 1994) was a Maine newspaperman who was executive sports editor of The Bangor Daily News, and a longtime outdoor columnist recognized statewide. In addition to his writing, Leavitt hosted one of Maine''s earliest television shows, which was devoted to fishing, hunting and the out-of-doors. Leavitt''s stature within the state was such that columnist Roy Blount Jr. wrote of the Maine sportswriter that he "fishes with Ted Williams and Red Smith or, rather, they trout-fish with him."
