 E.B. White 1899 – 1985Most well known for Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little,

The New Yorker and won a Pulitzer Prize for his work.
Pussy Galore and her husband own the second largest summer house on
the island of Islesboro, which is in Penobscot Bay midway down the Maine coast
The largest used to belong to Kirstie Alley, who acted in the TV show “Cheers” 
and, incidentally, produced so much household waste at her Islesboro place that
 her staff kept 14 garbage cans queued up by the back door, 
which seemed to say a lot about wealth -- a subject that held great fascination for
me at the time of my first visit to Islesboro more than 30 years ago.
Alley was married to her second husband, Parker Stevenson 
(Richard Stevenson Parker, Jr.) on December 22, 1983. 
They divorced in 1997. Alley and Stevenson share custody of their two children,
 William True and Lillie Price.
