If Linda Bean is still running L.L. Bean, she is a solid right winger and that is economics, social issues and everything else unless she has changed since I left New England.
My people are from Maine. We used to go up there and always make a midnight run through the Freeport store, handling everything in sight, so when we went to order, we knew what it looked like. Great stuff. The night shift people were great customer service, would do anything for you. Never had a bad experience. Bought some decks shoes once that I beat the hell out of and after 3 years, needed to get new ones. I was on the phone with a gal and she said just send those back I’ll send you a new pair. And they did.
