Thank you so very much for sharing. Robert Alley Sr. is my 2nd cousin and he used to substitute teach when I was in Grammar School in Jonesport. Was wonderful to see this finally happening for the two towns that greatly need it :)
This is a beautifully effective combination of visual documentation, music, and the distinguished voice of Daniel Davis. Carolyn, your obvious labor of love is and always will be deeply appreciated by the communities of Jonesport and Beals.
@@ALibbyLife Yes --- as I said to Wendy yesterday, Dickey's garage was as much of a "dude's socializing place" (i.e., like the typical small-town gas-station where local guys would stand around sippin' coffee and shootin' da breeze) as an auto-repair shop. And Dickey was always super-warm and jovially-friendly to me --- starting way back in the late 90's when I just rode a bicycle instead of having a car. Plus he would always give me a drink of water in the summertime, let me come in and hang out for a while to get warm in the wintertime, give me air for my bike-tires, let me borrow a wrench or screwdriver to make adjustments, and let me use the phone. We will all sorely miss that place, and Dickey himself, too, of course. His funeral is at 11 a.m. this coming Saturday at Greenwood Cemetery; you can bet your boots that I'LL be going!
@@ALibbyLife Ummmm... forgive my OCD here, but I think you mean "wait"... the bridge is indeed very heavy, but I don't think that was what you were referring to here :D :P
I've made these videos for over a year with no complaints until the bridge opened and everyone started arguing over the name. I am not taking part of the negativity and will continue to name the videos "Jonesport-Beals" for consistency with "Beals Island Bridge" in the title for RUclips's Search Algorithm if someone happens to search under that name.

Yes, she did a marvelous job :)
Congratulations to your connected communities!
I see Ellery Alley's and Dickey Beal's antique cars here... so sad that Dickey himself never got to witness this event
It was great to see the classic cars! And yes, very sad...Dickey will be missed by everyone

Thank you! It's worth the weight, the bridge is beautiful!
@@ALibbyLife I'm originally from Beal's so hopefully I can some see it before winter.
