  3. To Nicola and family – you probably don’t remember me, but I worked with your mother at Casco Bank on Commercial Street in Portland back in the mid-70’s. She had the teller window next to me and we always had a great time working together. I looked her up probably 30 years ago now when I saw her in an advertisement for Peoples-Heritage Bank on TV and went to her branch to say hello. Since then, I have often wondered about her and how she was doing. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. John Griffith
