What was Casco Bay like during the Great Depression? World War II? Was the Greatest Generation really that different from people today? What is it like living on an island in Maine? Is life as a lobsterman as romantic as it sounds?Donnie MacVane lived through and has much to say about it all. Born in the house he still lives in 95 years later; he was a child of the depression and a teenager during World War II. He set his first trap at five and remained a lobsterman until he was 90. They were very trying times, but with the abundance of clams and kindness, families on Long Island seldom went hungry. Children enjoyed the freedom that the time and place allowed. In his words, “Take a tribe of teenage boys, and you’ve got a prescription for mischief. But I guess because they were strange times with the war and all, we got away with it.”I Remember is an anecdotal history written with a splash of Maine humor.
