A great man who must be rolling in his grave as the current administration secretly and slowing dismantle the clean air and clean water act.

The “Muskie / Coffin” sign in one of the above photos is because Frank Coffin was running for the U.S. House in 1956. He would soon resign as chairman of the Maine Democratic Party so he could take office in Washington. He was replaced by �ֲ��ý Professor John C. Donovan, who would publish a 13-page case study of Coffin’s campaign called “Congressional Campaign: Maine Elects a Democrat” (Henry Holt & Company) in 1958 (there’s a copy of it in Ladd Library).

I also appeared on Maine Public Radio’s “Maine Calling” (and on “Bill Green’s Maine”) with Pat Webber.
