Little known Maine Facts
I love a good Maine story. This info was sent to me via email by a 'flatlander' from NJ. He has no idea of the true 'coolness' of this story for me & many of you who read my blog. How neat that Maine is making headlines again:
Christmas wreaths adorn head stones at Arlington National Cemetery. The 14th annual wreath laying event is the result of Worcester Wreath Company, of Harrington, Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.
