PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 4, 2021
I, Preservation take thee, Progress, to have and to hold from this time forward, with the purpose of working together on this common goal of joining opposing factions in a mutually beneficial journey forward, and to cherish and honor this bond till hell freezes over, or Maine experiences a real spring season. Both endeavors are positive in nature, offering forward movement in life and growth, and each bringing an optimistic attitude and common cause to the marriage. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Portland could set an example with this marriage and establish a clear-cut working relationship between preservation and progress? ~ Frank E. Reilly, Portland
