UNIVERSITY OF MAINE WORLD WAR II IN MEMORIAM DEDICATION In this book are the records of those sons of Maine who gave their lives in World War II. The stories of their lives are brief, for all of them were young. And yet, behind the dates and the names of places there shines the record of courage and sacrifice, of love, and of a devotion to duty that transcends all thought of safety or of gain or of selfish ambition. These are the names of those we love: these are the stories of those who once walked with us and sang our songs and shared our common hope. These are the faces of our loved ones and good comrades, of sons and husbands. There is no tribute equal to their sacrifice; there is no word of praise worthy of their deeds.

Size: 6.5 linear ft. + 1 oversized folder Administrative Note: The Casco Bay Island Development Association (CBIDA) was originally organized on Peaks Island in 1959 as the Island Development Association for purposes including island beautification and development, social welfare, education, and collective representation of island interests, among others. The organization soon expanded to include representatives from all of the Casco Bay islands including Peaks Island, Long Island, Cliff Island, Chebeague Island, Cushing Island, Great Diamond Island and Little Diamond Island, and was renamed accordingly. Early efforts included island clean ups, prioritization of island issues, promotion of island development, and improvement of ferry piers and service. Shortly thereafter, the CBIDA floated a bond issue in support of the purchase of former government land on Peaks Island from Peter Cioffi. Over time, that project led to the development of the Back Shore and infrastructure improvements on Peaks Island, as well as set asides for public land there. Other notable projects include leading the effort to create the Casco Bay Island Transit District to ensure more efficient and reliable ferry service; influencing the development of island zoning standards adopted by the City of Portland; achieving limits to the development of Diamond Cove at the former Fort McKinley; participation in various coalitions to preserve the Portland working waterfront and water quality in Casco Bay; regular publication of Casco Bay newsletter and boating brochure.

In yet another abortive attempt to settle the location of a new Casco Bay Terminal, the Portland Planning Board failed to act on a choice of Hobson's Wharf (at the foot of High St.); or the combined Custom House - Portland Pier site. Unanimous rejection of Hobson's Wharf was voiced by island residents, supplemented by peti­ tions signed by many who could not attend the August 7 public hearing. Custom House was favored more as the lesser of two evils, than an ideal solution in itself. Underlying the testimony was a repeated sug­ gestion that the City look again at the Easterly side of Long Wharf which might be negotiated with owner Tony DeMillo - who, it is understood, ,-1 ,-1 - might be willing to move his Marina to the westerly m side in a more protected area.

The militia has maintained the high standard of last year, the average attendance at ordered duty is the largest I have ever known and general earnestness pervades the entire force. For the manner of performance of duties I refer you to the reports of the Inspector General and his assistants. I desire to commend the force for its improve- ment and attention to duties. At this date the force has all compaDies required by law, except one recently disbanded. During the year Company L, Eighth Regiment, at Law- rence, was disbanded, and a new company formed in Law- rence to take its place. Company E, Eighth Regiment, was disbanded, and this vacancy remains unfilled. All organizations performed annual drill and camp duty as required by law, as follows : the First Brigade, except- ing First Regiment of Heavy Artillery, at the State camp ground ; the First Regiment of Heavy Artillery at New Bedford ; the Naval Brigade at New Bedford ; the First Cadets at Hingham ; the Second Cadets at Boxford ; and the Second Brigade at Manassas, Va., in connection with the army manoeuvres at that and adjoining places.

A log boom defense was placed in the river between the two forts. The fort was garrisoned by 180 men under the command of Captain Titus Salter from 1775-78. The garrison was also responsible for the security of the powder magazine in Portsmouth. The fort was designed by Captain Ezekiel Worthen, who also designed Fort Sullivan and the Clark's Point (Shaw’s Hill) Redoubt on New Castle Island, and who, with the rank of Major, later replaced General Sullivan as the overall commander of the Portsmouth harbor defenses. Peirce's Island was renamed "Isle of Washington" in 1776, in honor of General George Washington, who was then commander of the Army of New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the siege of Boston. The fort was repaired and regarrisoned in 1814-15 during the War of 1812 when British warships blockaded the New England coast. The fort was in ruins by 1850, and was probably not used at all during the Civil War.

While the City's mainland has matured into a comfortable mosiac of urban neighborhoods, the waters of Casco Bay have buffered the islands from much of mainland life providing a pastoral and rural enclave. Bill Caldwell, in his book, Islands of Mai ne eloquently speaks of the special character of islands along the Maine Coast. "But the islands of Maine are far more than the historic roots where our nation really began, for more unique and lovely jewels of the North American coast.

Access: Unrestricted Copyright: Requests for permission to publish material from this collection should be discussed with the MHS Image Services Coordinator Size: 16 linear ft. + 1 flat file folder (oversized materials) Administrative information: The Maine Olmsted Alliance for Parks and Landscapes started in 1990 with a group of officers and trustees who represented a wide range of interests: landscape architects, preservationists, historians, horticulturalists, planners, educators, and community activists. The organization was named after Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903), the founder and most famous practitioner of the profession of landscape architecture in America. Although he is well known with projects such as New York’s Central Park and Boston’s “Emerald Necklace,” his firm, the Olmsted Brothers, was busy in Maine with projects such as Portland’s Eastern and Western Promenade, the grounds of the Governor’s mansion, State House and Capitol Park in Augusta, the village green in Camden, the motor roads of Acadia National Park. A driving force behind the organization was Eleanor “Noni” Ames, a landscape gardener in Cumberland Foreside. She was president from 1990-1994, and very involved in the organization throughout its duration. Her husband, Charlton Ames, was president from about 2004-2008. Both of their correspondence is included in the collection. The Alliance was involved in surveying and documenting Maine’s historic designed landscapes, thanks to funding from the National Park Service, administered by the Maine Historic Preservation Commission.
