UMaine 25-26: Marques My Word: Back to the Big Time

No, but funny. I was more kidding about Millinocket "hot tickets" even existing. FWIW, I've camped several times in BSP, mostly at South Branch Pond. Compared to Patten, Millinocket is Manhattan.

Oh, Darius, those French girls in Millinocket were as cute as could be. Petite brunettes with lovely brown eyes, and always up for a night out. I loved them to death. A couple of them would speak French to me when the pedal hit the metal, if I asked. (Think Kevin Klein in "A Fish Called Wanda".)

Couldn't beat that. No way, no how.

I thought he meant they worked at the Dolby.

Ya know, went down there and earned his monicker. 🤣
 
Some seats for tonight in the upper bowl have become available on the website. For tomorrow, there are currently two seats in the upper bowl. No lower bowl or balcony seats are available for either night.

Worked for Pray's Cottages. My little trailer was behind the main building where Charlie Pray and Nancy lived.

Next to mine was another trailer where my co-workers stayed. (Two hot tickets from Millinocket, who will remain un-named for legal reasons.)

Life was good. Fished my balls off all summer. Best day was 14 keeper salmon on dries. Might have been my best summer ever, in an overall sense.

We hated the rafting; it was just starting then, and it really fucked up the fishing when numerous boatloads of drunken flatlanders put the fish down every 10 minutes.That turned the West Branch into a silly amusement park, as far as we fishermen went.

I spent the summer of 1969 doing reconnaissance base metal exploration as a geology student on paper company land out of Greenville, which included a week’s stay in Pray’s Cottages at Rip Dam. So much more interesting than lodging in Greenville, Patten, and the Forks, although we had fun flying into and out from remote ponds with Charlie Folsom’s service in Greenville.

A few years later as a grad student at U Maine, I lived in a barn loft retrofitted by the landlord for parties at the corner of Stillwater Avenue and Bennoch Road, one of the best places that I have ever lived. A lot of fun memories, although at a time before the Alfond’s arrived on the scene and only club hockey was played in an outdoor rink along the river.

Thanks for the nostalgia memory jog.
 
Looking ahead to the following weekend at BC, I want to give other Maine fans first option to 2 tickets I have but can no longer use for the Saturday night game on 11/22 at Conte Forum. Seats are Section MM, Row 16, seats 15 & 16, price $80 for the two of them. If interested reply to this and I'll get in touch with you.
