You went to college in Maine? Where? My mother went to UMaine. I grew up hearing the UMaine school song, which was ironic since she was essentially a teetotaler, having a glass of sherry perhaps four times a year and only when visiting relatives--we grew up without any alcohol in the house, except for the cough medicines for children which back then were loaded not only with alcohol but also with codine. (For those who don't know why this is ironic, the UMaine school song starts "Raise a stein to dear old Maine / Shout 'till the rafters ring."
