Hidden gem

October 31, 2024

My husband and I have stayed on Mackerel Cove four times within the last eight years. Yes, it is a hidden gem and one of our favorite areas of Maine. (See “A summer in Maine’s ‘hidden gem’,” October.) We hope it remains a hidden gem and does not become so popular that it becomes overcrowded and overpriced. We have seen this happen to another favorite of ours: Rockport, Massachusetts. Keep Harpswell a gem!

Boat launch isn’t necessary

I will be voting against borrowing funds to build an all-tide boat launch at Mitchell Field. I participated in the brainstorming session more than 15 years ago that came up with the idea of building a ramp at Mitchell Field, which I supported at that time.

Corn fritters

I just finished reading your June issue. I was born in 1931. I grew up during World War II. I got a kick out of the column about pancakes on Page 23 ("Cooking at 43° North: Hold the butter and syrup").

Outpouring of love and support

On Sunday, Dec. 14, my daughter Emma and I attended a moving, albeit sorrowful, celebration of life for one of Harpswell's finest: Christopher Glenn McIntire, who passed away on Nov. 24 at a mere 32 years of age, leaving a beloved wife and two little boys.
