For everyone who helped raise money to purchase land at the Deer Isle “gateway,” who worked on Cliff Island’s barge landing project, who helped with the Islesford Fair, who helped settle the long-standing dispute over golf carts on Great Diamond Island, who worked on the large lobster-seeding project in New Brunswick’s Bay of Chaleur, who saw the need for a Maine Lighthouse Museum and helped follow through – congratulations for helping to make these things realities.
These are worthwhile projects, and none of them would have happened without ideas, imagination, dedication, support and general unwillingness to take “no” for an answer. The individuals, businesses, communities, nonprofit groups and others who have made these things happen deserve everyone’s thanks.
