It was certainly a wonderful place to spend 10-12 weeks a summer. Bear Island is one of my favorite places on the planet.
I worked there as well several summers. maintenance work. What was the name of the man who was in charge. Short stubby guy. Gravely voice. Wife was there too. Ate eggs with gritts.
