More of a single community

This is a little late, but I must say that not a time goes by when I see a charcoal-gray Ford F-150 that I do not think of Bob Anderson.

We were subscribers from the earliest days. After we moved to Harpswell in 2013, I would stop by occasionally to visit with him. Such a gentle, well-meaning, hardworking soul.

I wrote a letter to the Anchor that appeared in Bob’s last or second-to-last issue, in which I poured my heart out about losing the Anchor. His words to me were, “I’m tired, George.”

I likened the Anchor to the Mountain Road bridge as a means to make Harpswell a little more of a single community.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

May he rest in peace.

George Cookman, Ewing Narrows

A practical, economic, flexible solution

I am writing regarding the proposed additional fire station. What may not be fully appreciated are the trends, identified more than 10 years ago, that have led the town to face the reality that a new station is the most practical, economic and flexible solution to a problem that threatens to leave the town with an inadequate response to a structure fire, major accident or wildfire. These risks are significant and cannot be wished or studied away.
