Bob Brown retired after 52 years of coaching basketball. Generally regarded as one of the finest coaches Maine has produced, he was a head coach at both the high school and college levels for 42 years. He was 73 when he resigned after 11 years at Cheverus. He won four Class A state championships and had a record of 476-154 at the high school level.
"I've been blessed," said Brown, whose last team went 14-6 and advanced to the Western Class A semifinals.
A DAUNTING DONATION
Maine's outdoors community rejoiced with the news that a 143-acre piece of land with a lakefront view of Mount Katahdin was being donated to Baxter State Park by a local timber company. The parcel includes 4,000 feet of Katahdin Lake frontage and provides a stunning view of the mountain.
The land was donated by Huber Resources Corp., and had been in the family since the 1940s. It fills a critical gap in the 4,000 acres surrounding Kathadin Lake. "It was very obvious to us the right thing to do with this property was to have it incorporated into Baxter State Park, and have it for all the people of Maine and for their great-great-grandchildren to be able to enjoy," said a company spokesman.
