Hope the Asticou Inn survives with some resemblance to the original. In my book their most famous visitor was the writer Willa Cather, who spent summers at Asticou during WWII because travel to her summer place outside US was restricted during the War.

Tom and I are on Beech Hill as of yesterday.

We worked and met at the Towne House( now Colonel's Deli) in NEH in 1969. Mrs. Fay was a regular, often sitting at the table with Garrison Morrfit (Gary Moore) and having a high ol' time. We would see her striding down the road from the Asticou to downtown NEH on errands to the PO and the shops, especially the Kimball Shoppe.

Word has it, Leonard Leo may name his estate The Eagles Nest.

Does that make NEHarbor the new Berchtesgaden?
