Did you know?

Noted author Clarence Budington Kelland was born in Portland in 1881 and credits growing up in Portland as preparing him for his profession:

"Portland was just the town for a boy to be born in if he proposed to grow up and be the kind of author I am. I had everything an author needs to equip him for his pofession, and I doubt if I have written a novel which would have been possible without those years of boyhood contact with people and manners and customs, and splendid, healthy point of view which flourished in our midst.”
