Wife retiring Nov 1. I retired Apr 1. She's a legal secretary and I'm a retired deputy sheriff and investigator for the district attorney's office. Our Maine house is for sale, been on the market since July. Will be "snowbirds" if the Maine house does not sell soon, otherwise we plan on staying at TV all year. By the way, I'm also retired from the Maine Air National Guard, who are also called "Mainiacs"

I'm also from Southern Maine. Born there and lived in Maine for 46 years before moving here. I was born and grew up in Portland but went to HS in Scarborough and lived in Limington for 10 years. I last lived in Fryeburg for another 10 years and coached at the HS there. I'm also called a Maniac down here and can't seem to get rid of that Maine accent. I have a lot of friends in the Limerick/Limington area still today.

I lived a mile from the Fair and considered it a pain in the neck. Hated driving around the traffic which was unreal. People came from all over to attend this fair. It lasts 8 days and by the end tens of thousands have come and gone.

Ever eat at 22 milk street in Portland (Old Port) - part of the Regency Hotel - my son is there Executive Chief - had been there for 20 yrs. --in charge of all eateries in there. Fryburg - the FAIR town. I grew up in a little town called Richmond inland a few miles from Bath, on the Kennebec.

OK, you are all making me homesick! Born in Bath, Maine; like the Marines will always be a Mainer, and forced, by parents, to move to NH, another beautiful state, at age 16. Lived also in Richmond (actually Bowdoinham) and Berwick, ME. Mmmmm, memories: smells of woodsmoke and crunchy fall leaves, low tide, sun on beach sand, lilacs and forsythia in the spring, wild strawberries and blueberries, learning to scull on the Kennebec, ice cream at Brown's in Cape Neddick......................sigh.
