One of my student at the Maine Maritime Academy in Castine graduated with a degree in marine engineering. He also had a Maine lobster license. With the earnings that he had from lobstering and his future earnings as a third assistant engineer, he was able to walk into the bank and at age 21 get a $500,000 loan for a new lobster boat.
Pam Bondi just announced a civil lawsuit against Maine’s Department of Education for violations of Title 9 - Men competing in Women’s sports. Your Governor is fighting this, not because she supports the few trans boys who want to annihilate girls in your state, but because she wants to resist Trump at all costs. It is an 80/20 support for restricting women’ sports to women, but this Governor should be pummeled by the public. I hope enough Maine normal people write her some nasty letters and forward them to the media.
One of my regrets at age 74 is that I passed on the Maritime academy in
1969 for a large state University.
I’ve had a great run - but always wonder what would have been.
My parents wanted me to go to the large State University. Kids listened to
their parents then.
