Dear Editor:

I recently sold my restaurant, Lobsterman’s Wharf, in East Boothbay and would like to take this opportunity to thank my many friends in Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, Christmas Cove, Bristol and South Bristol who have supported me throughout my journey, including a debilitating auto accident three years ago to the present.

I especially want to thank my faithful employees, including Rick, Keith, Cass, Sunday, Larry Sullivan, Eric, Sam, Linda and a remembrance to my dear friend, Bill Lewis.

There are so many people I have met over the course of the past six years who were positive influences in my life and to them I say thank you.

I have agreed to stay on a while to help the new owners of Lobsterman’s Wharf, so I hope you’ll stop in and say hello. Again, my personal thanks to all of you.

Bill Murphy

Boothbay
