IN MEMORIAM
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our brother and Camp Maranacook Advisory Board Member William “Bill” Fletcher. Bill was our authentic Mainer who was also part of the inspiration for Camp Maranacook Arts. He embodied the true spirit of the tranquility, backbone and grit that the state of Maine and its citizens embrace. He would often visit our actual summer home on Lake Maranacook and equally appreciate its unique splendor as much as we did, completely unjaded even though he lived in Maine day by day. His stature and take charge nature lead to the the nickname “John Wayne”. He knew how to rally the troops and lead the charge. We will miss him.
We invite you to make a donation to Camp Maranacook Arts in Bill’s Memory: Bill Fletcher Memorial
