Our
Chapter 89 Banner is always present at membership meetings. This clocks doesn’t yet physically exist,
however, the design mimics “Gingerbread” kitchen clocks so much a part of
American clockmaking. If you look
closely, you’ll see various critters and other Maine “stuff” on the
press-wood front of the case. Locate
the moose, pine cones, cat n nine tails, potato, lobsters, holly berries,
lighthouse, fir tree, a swimming loon…maybe even a couple of mosquitoes. The NAWCC logo appears on the dial. To our
infinite regret, we were unable to include a representation of the hordes who
descend on our State of Maine annually to crowd our highways and byways
(pronounced "ruds"), in the form of tourists (pronounced
"summercators" or "summer complaints"), and the later
throngs of foliage viewers (pronounced "leaf peepers").The lack of
space also precludes the inclusion of a representation of the weather-creased
face of a native son jauntily saying "Ayuh!", and uttering various
pithy Downeast sayings. |
