Mary Carol at 8:30 am and Maury at 6:55 pm. They were high school sweethearts, married for 52 years. Their love was a modern day “Bronte” love story.

It was the only time in their lives that they were ever separated. Mary Carol was an artist and her favorite topic was the Nubble Light in York, Maine.

Mary Carol and Maury traveled quite frequently to Maine and eventually bought a home to retire here when their accounting careers were finished in Pennsylvania. Their love for the State of Maine, her people and places were a constant in their lives. One of their many adventures was to take the mail boat ride in Portland Harbor.
