My First L.L. Bean Catalog: Am I An Official Mainer?
My very first L.L. Bean catalog arrived in the mail. Does this mean I'm an official Mainer? No, it doesn't. (I've been told.) Here's why…
More than a few people, who were born and raised in Maine, have told me a person has to be born here in order to be a Mainer. One of my coworkers said he had been here for most of his life and still wasn't a Mainer, because he was born in Massachusetts. I attribute this attitude to the sense of pride people from Maine have about their home state.
Do you think this is true? Let me know in the comments below or on Facebook.
