hey hey , stephen king , well guess who knew him while he was in colledge ?
me!
i was just a kid spending the summer in maine because of the pre detroit riot situation . back then hermon and carmel were nothing more than farmland that were next to each other . steve and his bride were living there in a old trailer and on hard times . well everyone up there was on hard times . steve would go around asking for handouts , gramps and nanna would help out with food but money wasen't something he could hand out . steve wouldn't labor for pay , he was a writer and couldn't wavier from his goals .
i remember sk's old junker car that hardley ever ran , remember seeing him walking down the backroads in his old army jacket too . even then he had looseleaf paper in the pockets to jot things down on . gramps would pick him up on the side of the road and give him a ride , i was with him a couple of times . i remember gramps talking one day about how the community leaders finaly ran steve out of town . gramps didn't like what they had done , gramps belived everyone deserved a chance , well except for "frencheys and them crooks in the government " that is .
steve lives in bangor now , awsome house too (yes , i have pics of the house too ) ! his wife owns a store there and is one of the nicest persons you could ever meet . steve can still be found looking like he used to . he gives ungodley amounts to schools up that way in scholorships and grants . there are two townships that don't get a thing thou . the hard times sure left a mark on his life there .
tommyknockers , local folklore up that way . steve gust gave it a new twist . those newengland states are full of stuff like that , sure would like to see him bring a few more of these legends back to life before there lost for good .
did you know there's a tour of documented haunted houses in bay city , mi. ? another documented house is just off allen rd. and southfeild road in allen park . you got any there in commerce ?
