If you get a bit further north in Maine, stop in at Southwest Harbor and see the Wendell Gilley Museum. A great spot if you're interested in bird/decoy carving.

Durgin Park is still there but is a bit more 'upscale' than stained tablecloths with holes in them these days. There are hundreds of places in Boston to visit.... if you like cities. I don't so I stay away for the most part.... but I get dragged there kickin' and screamin' about once every two or three years.

Dean and Dave, the ex (don't recall the name) lived on Nantucket Island for several years in the forties. What was it like out there sixty years ago?

In the late '40s my Dad took my Mom and me on vacation for a couple of years to Moosehead Lake. We stayed at Wilson's, right at the Kennebec outlet. Dad tried to show me the finer points of tempting squaretails, but I was a little young to catch on. Later I visited them when they had a summer place at Sorrento on Frecchman's Bay. Dad, though born in Lowell, MA, grew up a Down Mainer. Beautiful country, but too many people in season unless you go further Down East or inland.

Those shots bring back many memories for me Dave.
In the mid sixties our family spent a good bit of our summers from Sandwich to Rockport, Glouster, Provincetown, and Bearskin Neck? My mid eighties parents recently sent my 12 year old son "Parker" a very old cast reading lamp of the fisherman memorial in Glouster. I have good memories of leaving the Glouster docks for a day of Cod fishing on the party boats and shucking clams for real clam chowder. It's been a long time. The Cod are gone I believe. Thanks! |
