Machias (one "C?") eh? Kendall, we also have a "Machias" out here in Washington state. It's actually only about a 20 minute drive from my home.

My memory says that as the loggers and lumberjacks moved across the Northern states, clearcutting everything that grew, they took their towns with them. As a result, we have many Machias's, Portland's, Saginaw's, Clearwater's (that's where Bride Judy grew up), etc.

CHEERS, and like everyone else here ... best wishes! Bob(deckman)Nelson
