a little about me I was born in Bangor Maine in 1958, which makes me a prime candidate for AARP. They remind me of that fact about every 6 weeks, although I still seem to have some youthful innocence still lurking about. My family has been in the area for hundreds of years, a descendent of one of the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, and the other side, immigrants from Ireland during the late 1500’s. I have two son's and a dog named "Fred" I live through out Maine, I have spent time in the mountains with friends and family, as well as eight years sailing along its shores. If it is true what they say, that what doesn’t kill you, will make you stronger, than I must be a pillar, since I have hit more stone walls than Wiley Coyote. Yet several thing have prevailed, my insatiable desire to understand why, my yankee work ethic to find out and my dry sense of humor in the process of getting there. When all is said, I do enjoy this profession and the people in it. I hope that I may be of some assistance to you in the future.
