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

Fond memories of South Harpswell

Thanks for mailing the Anchor to my home in Illinois. My husband and I so enjoy reading all the latest news! I have been coming to South Harpswell all my life, beginning as a child when we would travel from our home in New Jersey for my dad's two-week vacations.
