The Stories of Betsy Connor Bowen

Grange Is Over
On a dull day deep in February livened only by a howling, snow-pelting blizzard, Soper's Mills Ella Maguire leaned into her mixing bowl, mashed ice-cold chunks of hamburger against eggs, oatmeal and tomato sauce. - Betsy Connor Bowen, 2004-10-14

Finding Yankee Bones
The bones of my Yankee ancestors lie all over New England. Their gravestones tip in the frost-heaved soil of hundreds of winters. The rains have flattened their once-deeply-carved names. - Betsy Connor Bowen, 2004-10-13

Blue Devil Richard Lincoln
Blue Devil Richard Lincoln was a young man of 18 not yet having begun his senior year at Winthrop High School when he was drafted. It was 1943, and the world was at war. - Betsy Connor Bowen, 1997-10-03

Bon Jour
"Tournez," he says, and he turns around as he says it. The inflection in his voice signals command, so sixteen children stand up from their chairs and turn around. - Betsy Connor Bowen, 1997-10-03

Time of Disaster
Area shelters that came to life quickly and survived on volunteerism demonstrated the ability of local Mainers to respond to others with generosity and empathy at a time of serious need. - Betsy Connor Bowen, 1997-10-03

Storm of the Century
"Winthrop was 100% without power Thursday morning. Fire fighters were out cutting trees, clearing roads for the public works people, trying to stay ahead of the storm." - Betsy Connor Bowen, 1997-10-03

Neighbor Helping Neighbor
The Town Office was open for business as normal on the first day of the storm, Wednesday, January 7; every day since then "has been storm management". - Betsy Connor Bowen, 1997-10-03

"All that, and husband and father too."
First off, Foster Beach is a Maine man of the old style: farmer, housebuilder, plumber, electrician. All that, and husband and father too. - Betsy Connor Bowen, 1997-10-03

"Mr. Beach had it torn down."
This old barn on the North Wayne Road has been torn down, but the memories it evokes remain. - Betsy Connor Bowen, 1997-10-03

"Foster Beach was cutting wood..."
Still standing is the house the Town of Wayne built to house one of its needy citizens many years ago. - Betsy Connor Bowen, 1997-10-03
