Swing fire commander2/27/2023 George had nothing but good to say about “the Swing man.” They enjoyed their travels. We knew George and Phyllis Reed from the many years that George did work at the Merry Music Box in the Harbor and the Musical Wonder House in Wiscasset. We knew Swing though our dear mutual friends George and Phyllis Reed. Anyway, it was quite a big day for us, and maybe for the Boothbay fire folks – a wee bit of a jump start for their new building. I think that's correct – my memory pills have not yet arrived in the mail. The day we closed on the building I made a photo with Clayton Pottle, real estate broker, Alfred Lewis, Dickie Spofford (present Boothbay Fire Chief), Susan my wife, Swing Lewis (a past chief) and Mr. Sometimes you’re the windshield and sometimes you’re the bug. I had set up a formal studio there as well. I got way too antsy sitting around hoping people might walk through the door to buy some of my work or schedule time. It was our hope to establish a photo gallery for me and a place from which we could conduct higher visibility interaction with the buying public. It was a big step for us but a good neighborhood. The old fire station was being sold to help finance the new fire station, which is farther up the road on 27. It’s still there across the street from the old town garage/office which has been lovingly cared for by George McEvoy and crew. My wife and I and Gardiner Savings bought the old fire station on Route 27 in Boothbay in 1995.
