Does she realize there are bigger fish in Maine other than her convict tail? All a Mainah can do is shurg and let her be and walk on. I really really did not care for her and her attitude after that article.

She's a pain in the a**. I never liked her snooty attitude and I think she should have done a few more years in the slammer!

Could not agree with you more, maineah!
I think she belongs back in Mass.

Poor Eddie Driscoll died a year or so ago as the result of Alzheimers.
My kids grew up going to school with Dick Stacey's kids. His daughter was in the same class as my daughter. I think Dick has passed on now too. He spent his last years in Florida.

OMG, I hadn't thought of him inyears. Mason Mutt!! And Dialing for Dollars. And Dick Staceys' Jamboree and the "C-78/14's on sale now"!! Remember Frankensteins from Milbridge and the amateur hour they ran on Saturday nights? Anyone?

We used to live a short distance from Dick Stacey when we lived in Holden.

When I was in high school a group of us saw Valerie Bertanalie and Eddie VanHalen filling up a two seat sports car in Bar Harbor.
I also worked at the Doug's Shop n Save on 3rd and Union Streets in Bangor where Steven and Tabitha King did their shopping. They were very nice and seemed down to earth. My friends older brother had him as an English teacher.

Kezar Lake in Stoneham is a mecca for famous folk. It's private except for the marina, so good luck spotting people who go there primarily because they don't want to be spotted!

What about little Bush and big Bush? They aren't really "celebrities" but famous!

DW and I saw tim Sample at Helens in Machias. No big celebrity but as close as I've come.

At the millennium celebration in Eastport, we ran into big Bush. He was wearing a pair of those silly glasses made out of '2000', with the two middle 0's for the eyes.
I met Stephen King twice when I was a kid - once at a birthday for one of his sons.
And a few years ago on a late night flight from Boston to Bangor, Fess Parker sat across from me - he was the one who played Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone in the 1950s TV shows.
