MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • April 5, 2020
Gov. Mills considers it essential for pharmacies and food markets to remain open during the COVID-19 crisis, and we absolutely agree with that decision. It is also essential that our glorious state parks reopen as soon as possible. For us, without them, our bodies will suffer and our souls will shrivel. As seniors in our mid-80s, we have no safe places to walk except our park, and our social isolation is lifted when we see others strolling and feeling the weight of the crisis lifted from their shoulders. The parks provide relief. ~ Sandy and Ole Jaeger, Georgetown
