My understanding Wayne is the this new money came out of Mr. McFarlane's own pocket, not the dealerships. A very nice gesture. I have to agree with you and other on this discussion; The puck didn't go accross the line, it was close. The closest since Jason Cyr won a car in the 80s. But it didn't cross the line...period. By the way, since this whole thing started I've heard two different interviews with Jacob Fraser. He has been very positive and up-beat...very classy. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne T.

For everyone that boo'd, if you joined Friends of Maine Hockey today, maybe the hockey program would have a computer or two manufactured in this decade. It's easy to spend someone else's money; do something on your own! For a little hockey content: (1) A Maine NCAA "bye" is not at all certain. Take care of business in the next 4 games and it is probable. Win HEA regular season and HEA tournament and it is a lock. Far from an easy task, though, no matter how we like our young men and the talent and heart they possess. (2) Last August 22, Eric Fenton was married to Mary Day O'Donnell. A BDN article last fall listed them as living in Milwaukee with Eric employed by the Milwaukee Admirals Hockey Club. cheers, wayne Wayne T. Smith [log in to unmask] Old Town Landing
