attended college for two years, but
did not know what he wanted. He
left and joined the US Navy, which
enabled him to see a lot of the world.
He lived in Boston for fourteen
years working in a distillery, but
the city life soon paled. Nantucket
was now out of the question, so
he bought a small house on Peaks
Island near Portland, Maine. Six
years later he moved there and for eleven years commuted to
Portland where he worked as a clerk at the Maine Superior
Court. At age fifty, deciding to go it alone, he quit his job
and moved to Matinicus Island, which became his Shangri-la
and substitute Nantucket. He has been running Tuckanuck
Lodge, a bed-and-breakfast, since. In addition to his duties as
an innkeeper, he is also the clerk-treasurer for the Matinicus
Plantation Electric Co., the smallest publicly-owned generating
facility in the United States, and is the caucus chairman for the
island Democratic Party, often attending state conventions in
Maine. A bachelor, he enjoys long walks around the island with
his beloved dog, Sandy.visualizza meno
