Bulk Dates: 1951-1999 Biographical Note: Sturgis Haskins was born in 1940 and lived most of his life in Sorrento, ME. He was the son of Reginald and Helen Haskins and the brother of Stephanie Haskins Dall, Jeff Haskins and Heidi Haskins Hooper. In 1958, he attended the Washington State Teacher's College and later transferred to University of Maine at Machias. In 1961, he left the University and moved to New York City. Sturgis spent much of the 1960s living in New York City and summering in Sorrento. While in New York he took some classes at the New School for Social Research in New York City and later at Columbia University. It was during his early years in New York, that he admitted to himself that he was gay. This was an issue, which caused some controversy within his immediate family for several years. In 1967, he spent a year at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and was very active in Civil Rights organizations. In the early 1970s, Sturgis attended the University of Maine at Orono. There he co- founded the Wilde-Stein Club, the first openly Gay student organization in the state of Maine. He was also involved in the first Maine Gay Symposium. After finishing his degree, Sturgis lived in Boston, MA and continued to participate in Gay Rights organizations. There he founded the Chiltern Mountain Club in 1978. By 1998, the Chiltern Mountain Club was the largest gay and lesbian outdoor club in the country. Sturgis Haskins was also very interested in politics. In 1972, he ran unsuccessfully for the District 28 State Senate seat. Later in 1999, he ran for a Sorrento Town Selectman position. When he wasn't running for office, he dedicated a lot of his time to various Democratic Party causes and especially Gay Rights causes. There are various documents and photographs in the collection concerning various political fundraisers and a very large and important collection of documents relating to the Maine Discrimination Law Initiative, Question 1 in 1995.History and collecting historical items seemed to be a large part of Mr. Haskins's life and he helped to found the Sullivan-Sorrento Historical Society. The town of Sorrento was very important to Sturgis. Not only did he participate in local politics, but he also was a member of various environmental groups such as the Nature Conservancy and the Frenchman's Bay Conservancy. Sturgis sailed and taught sailing for most of his life and his passion for boats and waters on which he sailed are prominent within the collection. 1 Sturgis Haskins died September 29, 2012, at the age of 72. Prominent names in the collection include: The Haskins Family Jane Humphrey John and Mary Van Dusen Bayard and Hattie Ewing Jill Ewing William (Bill) Parr Dorris Parr Norman Mailer Elisabeth Farwell Marian and William (Bill) Wise Georgianna Eills Tommy Andrews and Stuart “Toot” Andrews Leroy and Thelma Hooper Waldo and Winnifred West Cassalina (Cassey) Perry West Paul Gazis George and Marion Clendaniel Dr. George and Beryl Fuller Elizabeth (Betty) and Newbold Noyes Oakley Johnson Albert, Dorothy (Dot) and Albert Jr. Bohlin Peggy Bowditch Sanford (Sandy) Phippen Gifford Ewing Willie Bunker Frank Preble Peter and Elizabeth Hjorth Frances Johnson Hattie Ewing Alice Sargent Bernie and Florence Dumont Fred and Wilma Nichols Mason Sargent Philip Barter Winnifred Ewing Hunt Family Johnson Family Phyllis and Dennis O'Hearn Eleanor Humphrey Jane Adams Roy Oxley Hilly Welch Lynn Flewelling 2 Rick Beckjord George Daniell Ellen Devine Philip Barter Beppie Noyes Meyer and Hilda Davis See end of finding aid for more subject headings, including geographical (place names), personal (people), topical, genres, and boating related (names of boats, types of boats, etc.). Scope and Content note: The majority of this collection is photographs of Sorrento and the surrounding area. There are also historical items and documents relating to the town of Sorrento and various organizations operating within the town. The collection also includes important documentation regarding gay rights in Maine and across the country. Important events and organizations include the Wilde-Stein Club at University of Maine at Orono and the 1995 Maine Discrimination Law Initiative, Question 1. Sturgis Haskins collected many items relating to the various viewpoints regarding gay rights from both proponents and detractors. The collection also includes many publications from several prominent Maine, New England and national gay and lesbian organizations. The collection includes diaries and correspondence belonging to Sturgis Haskins and diaries written by his grandmother, Irene B. Haskins. Processing note: Sturgis Haskins donated the collection to the Maine Historical Society over a period of several years. Items such as photographs, arrived housed in various binders. Since the collection consists mostly of photographic content, it was decided to leave the photographs affixed to their album pages. These album pages also included descriptions of the content. Over the years, Mr. Haskins also sent items and photographs to the Society via mail. All efforts were made to keep his descriptions of the items with the objects. Some of these letters of descriptions are in the collection's source file. Other items arrived in various boxes and were arranged by type and content. Since many of the photographs depict various architecture and boats, a list of each was made at the end of this finding aid. A list of known boats belonging to Mr. Haskins is also at the end of this finding aid. Names of boats are in quotations, names of houses/estates are underlined. Series V of the collection is currently restricted. In 2019 part of the collection was rehoused, due to space issues, so some of the boxes (box numbers) were eliminated. Series: Series I: Photographs (Box 1-35). This series mostly depicts photos of the Sorrento area, its residents and various buildings, homes and estates. Some photos depict different regions and towns in Maine where Sturgis Haskins visited or lived temporarily. A few boxes contain historical photos, which Mr. Haskins collected over the years.

    Welcome Welcome to the eighth annual Friendship Sloop Days. During the spring of 1961, plans were hastily made for a race that was to be a homecoming for Friendship Sloops. Little did we realize that we were grabbing a bear by the tail. With our eighth regatta coming up shortly, we know what enthusiasm and love there is for these boats. Our first year was a one1 day, one race affair, but so many sloops travelled so many miles to join in tht. fun, it was decided in order to make it worthwhile for them to travel so far, three days should be set aside for racing. This has worked out well, and everyone seems happy with the arrangement. Thanks to a competent Race Committee, the race itself has been one of our lesser problems. Accommodating the crowds of people who want to see these boats from shore or watch them race from other boats has been quite an undertaking for a small fishing village of 800 people. Such problems as feed- ing up to 5,000 people, and parking their cars seemed insurmountable, but thanks to the veracity of "many handsJmake light work," the impossible was easily accomplished. Outdoor meals were served, banquets prepared, park- ing lots set up, a taxi service arranged,; and innumerable other facilities pro- Dedication — vided to help make things run smoothly; The aspect of all this that strikes most people first, is the fact that no individuals profit from any of this.

    Frank, Barney (b. 1940) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Barney Frank. United States congressman Barney Frank is known for his intelligence, his quick and acerbic wit, and his spirited defense of his social and political beliefs. He has been a leader not only in the cause of gay and lesbian rights, but also on issues including fair housing, consumer rights, banking, and immigration. Frank was born on March 31, 1940 in Bayonne, New Jersey, where his father owned a truck stop. As a youngster Frank developed an interest in politics. He did not, however, foresee a career in government for himself because he observed in politics a dismaying amount of corruption and an inhospitable attitude toward Jews. He had, moreover, realized at the age of thirteen that he was gay, which also seemed an obstacle to a political career. Nevertheless, Frank remained an avid student of politics. After receiving a bachelor's degree from Harvard in 1962, he entered the university's graduate program in political science. In addition to offering courses in government from 1963 to 1967, he worked as the assistant to the director of the Institute for Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1966 and 1967. Frank left the graduate program in 1967 to work on Kevin White's campaign to become mayor of Boston. Following White's victory, Frank was his executive assistant for three years and then spent a year as an administrative assistant to Representative Michael J.
