Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the only federal holiday designated by Congress as a National Day of Service. On that Monday, I took a few moments to reflect on just how fortunate Skidompha is to have the support of our volunteers and how Skidompha would be a very different institution without their generous work. Indulge me a little horn tooting.

Round Pond
While there cannot be any storms in our history that compare whatsoever to last week’s devastation, it did get me wondering about others that may have occurred many years ago. As we used to call it, in the olden days. Of course you know who I called, Bethiah Callahan. She has her grandmother, Bethiah Thompson’s journals that go back to 1944. There were others previous to that but unfortunately Bethiah is not in possession of them. Her grandmother being born in 1858 and passing away in 1965 was a wealth of information. She wrote of storms here in Round Pond.
TOGETHER, WE RISE
In the wake of the devastation of last week’s storms, we are reminded of what carries the torch of Mainers indomitable spirit. It’s not the longstanding fish houses, childhood homes, and working waterfront docks now lost to the tides. It’s us, the people, who carry the histories and stories of this coastline with us every day in living memory.
