"Did I always want to be a priest? It's an unfortunate answer, but it shows God has a sense of humor — and knows what he's doing. I was going to Seton Hall University on a track scholarship. It's a Division I school, so I was pretty fast. I went to the weight room, went to the workouts. The one thing I wasn't going to was the classes."

"I grew up in Brunswick, but I've always come to Harpswell. This was the place we would take people from out of state because it's so beautiful. During the pandemic, Harpswell got gentrified. But when my girlfriend and I decided to move in together three years ago, we found an affordable apartment on Orr's Island. Our landlord had bought the property and lowered the rental rate for locals, people who would benefit from the community."

"My sister, Mary Patricia, and I grew up on the east side of Lowell's Cove with my grandfather and grandmother, John and Mary Tibbetts. My grandfather was related to everybody over there. When I was old enough, maybe 7 or 8 years old, I started working on the lobster boat, like young boys did at that time and still do."
