Letter to the Editor

What a place to live

Dear Editor:

In the fall of 1977, my wife, Barbara, and I found one of Mother Nature’s treasures call the Boothbay region and fell in love with the area. A place in the world with it untold beauty of vistas, water, and the most important treasure, the people who inhabit the area.

Ten years ago, I had some very difficult problems, in fact, I am presently recovering from surgery where I came very close to not being able to write this letter.

The community reacted to the news with concern, caring, and prayers by people who I had never met. I have experienced numerous times where complete strangers approached me to question my recovery with real concern.

There are no words that can express my feelings how very, very touched and special I feel with such an outpouring of concern. I want to express my gratitude to everyone.

An extra special hug to the angel I am married to, my wife Barbara, who has gone over and above as a wife and caregiver.

What a place to live.
