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!

Highly recommend local chef

We were in Alaska with family in June when a local restaurant called to tell us our dinner reservation for 18 to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary was being canceled because they were closing. I had noticed a column in the Anchor by a new catering chef ("Harpswell's Private Chef") and called your wonderful development officer, Janice Thompson, who directed me to Amanda Palma.
