Notes to a friend on Maine memories....(Vinalhaven Island)

Virginia:  I probably already told you this...but when you sent me the bit on Vinalhaven it jarred a memory.Our best friends from work (Allstate) had two cottages in Maine. One was on Worthly Pond, and the other in Vinalhaven.  We used to go up to the cottages with them for long weekends.  All of us were avid Bridge players and we'd hop in Charlie's T-bird with the two dogs (our Dalmatian and their German ShortHaired Pointer) and head out for Rockland and the ferry.  We also spent a few weeks up there on summer vacations.Long story short we decided to buy the lot next to them. It was 1 3/4 acres on the cove waterfront.  It turns out that the guy who owned that lot (and several others on the cove) was a Mr. Livingston Jennings.  Well, after we bought the lot we found out that he was Cathy Cave's grand-daughter or niece...don't remember which. Of course Cathy was married to our Lions buddy Bill Cave who used to work at the Day with Bill Long.  What is even weirder is Livingston had that house on Boston Post Road near the bridge that crosses the Niantic River at its terminus.  So, long story short, the guy who sold us the lot in Maine actually lived five miles from us in CT! We ended up selling that lot as we needed the money to buy our Willow Lane house, and with the arrival of the kids that long trek up to Maine was a lot less attractive.  Of course, in hindsight, it would have been financially prudent to have kept it if we could have.  Our good friend Charlie Sullivan died just a few years back...I think his wife Claudia still has the camp.Cheers!  Bob Contact Information:  Call or text  860-460-7945 Links and Rants:  http://bobpayette.blogspot.com/
