Your information on the “heiress” to LL Bean is dead wrong. The only female Bean desendant is Linda Bean who has funded most of the right wing social causes in Maine. LL Bean’s grandson (and longtime CEO) Leon, who recently died, was a supporter of left causes. He also was a committee member of my boy scout troup and all of our camping equipment came from Bean’s in the 70s.

You may be thinking of Roxanne Quimby who built the Burt’s Bees empire. She has bought a large chunk of northern Maine in an effort to create a national park.

Thanks. Must be I was either told wrong, or read wrong, or somebody, even me perhaps, had gotten the 2 mixed up.

And eliminated hunting and snowmachining on those lands.

Flatlander.
