Bacon and eggs grease the wheels of connection for these retired Maine bus drivers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SOUTH PORTLAND — One man applied for a job as a bus driver on his 50th birthday. Another knew from the time he was a boy that he wanted to drive a bus when he grew up. A few followed brothers, great uncles or grandfathers, and several were hired after returning from military service. If they could drive a truck pulling a Howitzer, for sure they could operate a bus through peaceful city streets.

A few years ago, I found the diary I wrote while on a family trip to Alaska in 1970. I was 9 years old, making me just two years younger than the state itself.

The social media message went on to say, “”This has been an incredibly meaningful chapter, and we are so grateful to everyone who supported us, shared a meal with us, celebrated with us, and made memories inside these walls.” The restaurant, at 165 Pine Point Rd., served a casual menu of Mai

Some of us acquired puppies during the pandemic. Some of us learned to bake sourdough bread. Ambitious readers picked up “War and Peace” or “Middlemarch” to while away the hours. Candy salesman Guy O’Connell did none of those things. Casting about for a hobby to occupy long days at home, in 2021 he planted a vineyard outside his attractive but otherwise unremarkable 1962 ranch home in Portland’s East Deering neighborhood. O’Connell mailed away for 60 cold-hardy vines from a vineyard in New York
