A piece of sky
As promised so many weeks ago, here is the second part to my most recent Northern Yarn regarding my fascination with old buildings.
I have spoken before of my career and of the honor of working with those who were visually impaired or blind. Each precious encounter I experienced in itself was a life lesson, and from time to time I am inspired to share some of these “yarns” with you.

Presque Isle treasures, Part 3
To the editor:
The one bad thing about walking in the morning first thing is it’s so darn early. As a result, when I first head out the door, my body is still partially “paralyzed,” my mind is in a bit of a fog and my eyes are filled with “sleepy seeds,” as my mom called them.

A gem of a museum
To the editor:
As former County residents, our return visit was met with an unexpected surprise. We were invited to a guided tour of the Stockholm Museum, a town in which my wife was raised, where she spent much of her youth, harboring many happy memories.

Everything will be OK
To the editor:
What is happening? The price of gas is falling. Has anyone tried to catch it? I haven’t heard the “Oh, oh, oh, oh, the price of gas is falling” from the politicians and also the public, like they did when the price was going up.

Childhood Allagash vacations
To the editor:
In my last letter I mentioned how every spring when my older brother, Kevin, and I were kids, my dad, who was usually all work-minded, would pack us up in the Volkswagen van and head to Little Fall Brook Lake in the Allagash.
