This story
begins on Lower Spring Street at the house
where I grew up with four sisters and a
younger brother in the fifties. The essence
of the book really begins with the reader
standing on the knoll in the hollow behind
Poirier’s Market and Field’s Garage, which
are both situated on Spring Street. I invite
you to stroll with me through the streets of
a small Maine Mill Town.
When Weavers
Wove is the story of every small town New
England family who lived during the
tumultuous transition from Industrial Age to
baby boomers of the sixties and seventies
and the loss of their innocence. It is an
embellished view written by a fifth
generation Yankee blessed with the gift of
knowing people and capturing their stories
from the 19th, 20th, and 21st century.
When Weavers
Wove is a collection of short stories
written to capture the taste, smell, sounds,
and realities of a by gone era. An era that
looms large in our memories. An era which,
in no small way, still longs for its
innocence. When Weavers Wove is by and large
a work of nonfiction written as a stroll
through Dexter, Maine, a small New England
Mill town, which typifies the birth and end
of the Industrial Age.
