Somewhere back in the last century (mid 1990's) I began publishing Mrs. Higgins Maine Studies Links for my middle school students. Then Dave and I began ImagineMaine.com which was active between June 2000 and 2012. We intended a collaboration of artwork and Maine stuff including a little writing and some recipes. Pretty quickly we realized that we needed separate websites and so Dave posts most of his painting and photography on D-Higgins.com. Imagine Maine became my site and mirrors my interests and little obsessions.. That said the site required a new name- MaineStory.
Two houskeeping matters need to be addressed:
First, I increasingly find that Maine Stories are being copyed and posted around the internet. Sometimes credit is given to me or to this site. If you use my work as a source or for a simple quote just give a simple citation and link. That would be nice. Sometimes I find that my story is copied in a somewhat changed or abbreviated form (but copied none the less) and other times the whole thing is just posted on another site. This is a violation of COPYRIGHT! Please do not do this. If you have a question about this or want to use my work in some way, get in touch with me, but be aware up front that I never give permission to anyone to reproduce a whole work. Thank you.

Dave Higgins is a painter and a life long photographer in both traditional photographic processes and digital imaging. His work has been exhibted in Maine, throughout New England and nationally. It can be seen online at d-higgins.com.
This siteI formerly included several pages of research links to info about Maine’s history, people, geography and environment. In a recent update I removed those pages.They were intended for educational use, and more than ten years out, I am no longer working in education and have failed to keep them up.
Likewise, the internet does not need another recipe site so those pages are gone, too.
The time is right to downsize. I apologize to anyone who has come here to find those link pages.
