We moved up to Houlton in 2001 because I took a position teaching Business Technology at Houlton High School. Since everything was going well, we bought a house and sold our home in Starks (sob...). (It felt like we had moved into New York City after living in Starks). Then, the day after we made our first mortgage payment, the superintendent of schools let me know that the entire business program was going to be cut, leaving me out of a job... We got by the next year by my teaching AutoCAD at the local secondary level vocational school, but then that was cut due to lack of enrollment. That's when I started my own computer business.
We have gotten by, sometimes well enough, sometimes just barely, but are surviving okay. Gwydion got married to a local girl in Nov. of 2007! Feeling old yet? They live nearby and are attending college through UMPI.
Great to see you again! Leigh and I are now living in Houlton. I'm running a small computer repair and training service, and Leigh is making quilts and handpainted silk scarves/ties etc. You can see my website at: www.aroostookcomputer.com and Leigh's website at: www.leighcgriffith.com
If you ever get up to the north country, give us a shout!

That's the gist for now!
