Stuff about me
My name is Keith Michaud and this is “Letters From Away,” a blog written by a Mainer living outside the comfortable and sane confines of New England. The blog is intended for Mainers, whether they live in the Pine Tree State or beyond, and for anyone who has loved ’em, been baffled by ’em or both. Ayuh, I am “from away.” Worse still, I live on the Left Coast – in California. Enjoy! Or not. Your choice.

To all veterans — Thank You!
[Sorry for not getting this posted earlier. I was working on another project and simply could not get to this until now. Here are links to some of the stories presented in the two major Maine newspapers on this Veterans Day. You don’t have to like war to deeply appreciate that young men and women are willing to put down their lives in defense of this nation. I thank all who have worn the uniform or otherwise served in the defense of this country. – KM]
