Welcoming home a friend -

For a friend who has been recovering at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor for a month, isn't the best way to welcome him home to Lubec a surprise party?

We gave a Washington County welcome to Vern McKimmey, who is chairman of the Washington County Democratic Committee. His wife Carmen was in on the plans to surprise him with a big bash at Cohill's Inn, which is the best Irish pub on this side of the Atlantic.

There were 24 of us -- including three Maine House of Representatives candidates (me, Marie Emerson, Dennis Mahar), three current Representatives (Anne Perry, Janet Mills, Sean Faircloth), and one Maine Senate candidate (Karen Johnson). Plus the most honored guest of the evening, our buddy Vern.
