Paul
Fournier
NAWCC #163683
Chapter 89 #277
|
I
have been in Maine since 1968, mostly in Saco, when my parents moved us
there from New Jersey. Joanne and I
have been married since 1982. We moved from Saco to Scarborough in
2001. We have two daughters, three granddaughters, and a brand new grandson.
I work as a Semiconductor Device Physics Engineer at Fairchild, and have
been there since 1980.
Weather instruments and clocks have long been an attraction for me, but this
didn't really get serious until a couple of years ago. I have a fair
sized collection of early-mid 1900's weather instruments, and most of my
clocks are in the 1880 - 1930 time frame.

Nan Vance
NAWCC #159379
Chapter 89 #281
|
Nan
and husband Tom hail from Bristol, Maine, where she has a year-round
antique shop called “Good Old Things." Nan finds truth in the
philosophy that you get a lot more back from things when you give something
to them.

NAWCC #159378 Chapter 89 #249

Tom repairs, buys and
sells clocks in conjunction with Nan's antique shop in Bristol. He
could not refuse being pressed into service, because "the strength of
Chapter 89 comes from member participation".

Cal
Morgan
FNAWCC
#05723 Chapter 89 #006
|
Cal
& Natalie (or is it Sharon, Madeline or Susie?) Morgan come to us from
Coastal Maine. Cal generally flips
out a “cue card” at meetings during introductions, just to be sure he gets
Natalie’s name right. Cal always
has a way of embarrassing her. He’s
probably seen more planes landing in his back yard than the flight deck of
the Enterprise.
A
creative individual, he always has something of value to share with the membership
from his years of experience as a “Fellow” in the NAWCC. With membership number “006”, even James
Bond is green with envy.

Jim
Bryant FNAWCC
#08931 Chapter 89 #011
|
Jim Bryant, still married to his first wife
Margaret for nearly 50 years, is known as “The Hurdy-Gurdy Man” all over
the Northeast for the past fifteen years, after retiring from being a
Steamfitter Controls Technician amongst many other trades.
Always a favorite, we can always count on Jim
Bryant to share some memorable moments of the beginnings of Chapter
89. Once in a while Jim what’s been
happenin' back at 'Shuy Connah', and a few teasers about “bein' a clock-fixah
and collectah.”
