Just moved to Greensburg, PA after living in
Dresden for 22 years. Forced here to make a living
after Maine Yankee shut down. My parents are both
native Mainers (East Parsonsfield & Orr's Island) but
unfortunately moved to Knoxville, Tenn for my dad to attend
grad school just before I was born. I like to tell
everyone that I was conceived at the old Cornish Drive-in
(does that count?), but my mother doesn't see any humor in
that. I guess the thing I miss most is not being able to
walk my old dog down to the Kennebec chasing grouse on a
nice autumn afternoon.

My son was given a kitten by one of my mom's
Biddeford coworkers. It occurred to me that kitty is a M.I.E.
Don't worry, we take him to visit often.

WOW! The BoSox in the series. I remember the
last two times vivdly. In '75, I was driving back home from
Florida where I'd been exiled for a mere month (couldn't
take being away), and I found myself stopping on the side of
the road because the AM station I was listening to the game
on was fading and I couldn't risk losing my signal. In '86 I
lived in Lisbon Falls and had to fight my wife for the
remote- she's not quite the fan that I am. Now all we can do
is hope and pray that we'll all have something to cheer
about in a week! I guess coming this far is plenty to cheer
about, but winning the series will be the icing on the cake,
so to speak. Go SOX!
To David Burch. Are you related to Duane and Kim Burch? I'm
from Freeport, but hung around and lived in Brunswick for a
good many years. They lived out towards Mere Point Road. I
got to know them @ The Castaways where my band played
frequently. It was open from '78 thru '86.....

I've been wicked bad! It's been almost 2
years since I visited this wonderful site. Mainers in Exile
has, in the past, provided me with delicious Whoopie Pie and
Pumpkin Whoopie Pie recipes. I'm still searching for 1981
Cony grads, so please respond if you are one of them! Say a
prayer for me down here with my wonderful family in
Gainesville, FL. We were hit by 2 of the 4 hurricanes (lots
of tree damage) and we still have repairs to make. HOWEVER,
we are lucky to be alive, healthy and only 3 days away from
the great state of Maine! Oh, how I miss it. I called it
"Disgusta" (Augusta)when I was there as a
child/teen, but I've changed my tune now:)

I miss being in Maine after watching our
beloved Red Sox stage the greatest comeback in Baseball
history. I miss that more than a pizza or italian(
Cossetta's in St. Paul rivals any ME establishment) or even
fried clams( Mac's Fish 'n' Chips on Larpenteur).I was there
for the collapse of '86 and the heartbreak of '75, now that
I am 'away' we did it against the arch rival Yankee. Every
fan of the Red Sox from Madawaska to Kittery can be proud of
our bunch of 'idiots'. It is not over though, lets continue
this starting Saturday!!!

Well ya know I really don't
give a damn about sports but what can ya say....There's ice
forming on the lake of fire in hell and Satan bought some
earmuffs (Maine earmuffs of course) and the Red Sox are
going to the World Series....the Yankees are so arrogant
they needed to be brought down and only the Red Sox could do
that....Now the only thing that would be more excruciating
would be a World Series between the Red Sox and the Cubs.
LOL GO RED SOX!!!

I was born an' raised in Maine. Brunswick to
be exact. Dr. Winklebauer.
I'm in Plymouth, MA now. Missing the rugged Granite
Mid-coast the most. Would love to run up to Bar Harbor for a
day hike and catch an early Diner type breakfast.

I've been in exile for over 20 years.
Can you believe that as I crossed the Piscataqua River
Bridge in 1983, I cracked a bottle of champagne in
celebration? Ah, the folly of the young. Now, I
long for the ocean, a stone's throw from my childhood home,
and the smell of summer's salty fog lingering in pine.
I can't get back often enough to see my family, and friends
from USM. My children love spending summer weeks with
Grammy and Papa; time will come when we can return
permenantly. For now, I savor the occasional can of
Moxie spirited by friends from Vermont to the wasteland of
western New York.

Speaking of Sebago..there is a great camera
site that shows the lake, mountains, etc. Go to http://sebagocam.com.
Last month I spent 10 glorious days on Sebago Lake; visiting
