She and her family are avid skiers. They live at Sugarloaf Mountain in Carrabassett Valley, Maine where Nancy used to work as Communications Director. Nancy and her husband Jay have two sons who are competitive alpine ski racers. They also have a yellow lab named “Carrie” (which is short for “Carrabassett”)who loves to make new friends as much as her human mother (Nancy) does , except she jumps up and down and licks her new friends. Nancy just smiles and shakes her new friends’ hands enthusiastically.
Hi Nancy,
I work full-time at central Maine’s family-owned newspaper as the Special Sections managing editor for the Advertising department’s 65+ newspaper supplements published each year. I am also attending the University of Southern Maine part-time - determined to get a BA in the Arts & Humanities. Love my work, love school. All this while being married to a wonderful man and helping two adult children go through college.
Both at work and at school I have become aware of the latest trends in communications, such as the RSS feeds and social networking. I was wondering if you plan on opening a satellite office in the Lewiston-Auburn area?
Thanks for your time,
Denise Scammon
