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.

TRIP F Leader: Marc W. Bodine, Jr. State University of New York at Binghamton Objectives of Trip • ® m This excursion will visit the area in Cape Elizabeth where the several formations of the Casco Bay Group as originally defined by Katz (1917) and the older Cushing Formation are exposed with meta­ morphic grade ranging from the chlorite subfacies through the almandine subfacies of the greenschist facies using the Eskola facies classification as modified by Fyfe, Turner, and Verhoogen (1958). Additional stops will be made in Falmouth where the lowest unit of the Casco Bay Group is exposed exhibiting lower almandine amphibolite facies metamorphism in contact with the Pejepscot Forma­ tion (Fisher, 1941), a highly migmatized quartz-biotite-plagioclase schistose paragneiss of the sillimanite subfacies of the almandine- amphibotite facies. The evidence for interpreting this contact as a fault contact is the abrupt change in metamorphic grade and the abrupt appearance of pegmatites, granites, and migmatites.

  • Cross Town Trail Guide
    Welcome to the Highlighting the best of Cape Elizabeth, ME Table of Contents Introduction to the Cross Town Trail 1 History 1 Trail Rules/Etiquette 2 Trail Map 3 Directions North to South 4 South to North 8 Points of Interest 12 Further Resources 14 Acknowledgements 14 About the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust 14 About the Town of Cape Elizabeth 14 Introduction to the Cross Town Trail The Cross Town Trail is an 8.2 mile hike in the town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, owned or under easement by the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust (CELT) and the Town of Cape Elizabeth. It stretches from Portland Head Lighthouse in Fort Williams Park to Kettle Cove State Park, highlighting popular Cape Elizabeth landmarks along the way. The trail is mostly flat and can be used for a variety of different activities in all months of the year, including hiking, running, birding, snowshoeing, and photography. The following guide, the Cross Town Trail Map and the small, round, light blue markers should keep you on track. The trail passes through several different trail systems with their own systems of signage, so always be watching for the round light blue markers. The trail can be hiked in either direction, and parking is available at either end. History The idea for a Cross Town Trail in Cape Elizabeth first surfaced in 1974, 11 years before the Land Trust was founded. Through the years, the trail has been completed through a patchwork of different types of conservation land, including land owned by CELT or the Town, land with easements held by CELT or the Town, former “paper streets,” land set aside to offset development, state owned lands, and even a utility easement.

Lighthouses on the Coast of Maine Sixty-seven lighthouses still perch high on the rocky cliffs of Maine. Some of these lighthouses were built more than two hundred years ago to help sailors navigate their way through storms, fog, and dark of night. These beacons saved wooden merchant vessels sailing dangerous courses through narrow and shallow channels filled with countless hazards. Maine’s lighthouses were a part of our country’s history at a time when we were defending our shores, as far back as the Revolutionary war. Some were damaged by war and many were destroyed by the violence of nature. Light keepers risked their own lives to keep their lamps burning. A proud and dramatic beauty can be seen in these structures and their rugged environments–the reason I recently returned to Maine for another photo exploration.
