March 20, 2008 ---- Dear humble, I lived in Maine for 9 wonderful, soulful and eye opening years. I came from the south, no not Portland but Atlanta, and found myself and who I was, in Maine.
You were a big part of that. On Friday nights, because my tv had given out and I didn't want to pay for the cable to be strung down our road to my house,
I listened to you and then the late Ed Bradley and Jazz from Lincoln Center while I tied my Caddis flies for the upcoming summer.
I have since moved away from Maine, but think about it daily and miss it with a broken heart.
Today I went onto the Maine Public Radio site to see if I could still hear your show on Friday nights.
It made me sad to see that your show was no longer in the line-up.
You were the best show on there! The humor and jazz were the perfect ending to a work week.
I will miss your show always and look back on it as part of my growing into who I am today.

the American people on national television. --- This was news because he was an author."
"A fellow called me from Buffalo New York to tell me that my web page wasn’t turning up on search engines.
If he hadn’t called me, I might have believed him."
