If I remember anything about my Great Grandparents it is this:

My mother's father was born on Chebeague Island, his wife was born in Round Pond. That is where he met her. I remember him somewhat, he owned a small clam company in Portland, across from Boone's restaurant down by the pier. He was an artist, he did art work plus ran his business. His name was Ed Dyer. He had to bury his own wife, she died back in Round Pond, she had the "plague", and when she died they had to burn all the furniture in the house. My sister remembers a lot more of it. Ed Dyer was a swordfisherman, whatelse he did I don't know.

My father's mother I remember, they called her Maud. She lived to be 80 something. My sister tells me that I was her favorite. She was a big woman. The only thing I remember of her was that on holidays she would come up to the house and help cook the dinners. My father's father was born down the coast, in Friendship, we don't know how they met.
