AN ABSOLUTE GEM OF A CONVERSATION
Connie Judkins grew up in the remote settlement of Chesuncook Village, Maine, 20 miles from the nearest road. She and her sister attended the one-room school located a couple miles from their home. Connie left Chesuncook to enter Greenville high school and graduated in 1948. After seven enjoyable years working behind the soda counter at Harris drugstore she decided to try something entirely new. Dick Folsom hired her to manage the flying service office. Connie became a girl of many trades. She handled the phones, the two-way radio network, the mail, the payroll, the reservations and shopped in town for Dick’s remote customers. Many people in Greenville would stop in to chat with Connie and Dick. Folsom’s was the hub of the town.
