SUMMARY:SECRET GARDENS OF THE KENNEBUNKS - JULY 11 - 10 AM to 3 PM

Ruffalo’s performance won him a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. \nLamb’s other popular novels include I’ll Take You There\, We Are Water\, Wishin’ and Hopin’\, and The Hour I First Believed.

He and his wife\, Mary\, had been vacationing in Maine since 1968. Clifford had a great many passions and interests. He became deeply involved in town politics\, becoming a member of the town’s Planning Board for nine years and a member of the Select Board for six years. He was also active on the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library board and the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust. \nBut it was Clifford’s quirky nature that endeared him to the town’s residents. He was a self-styled Anglophile and was well known in town for walking his Airedale\, Rocky\, around his neighborhood sporting a tweed jacket. A graduate of Bard College\, he was an omnivorous reader and a lifelong student of English history and architecture. He and Mary lived in a Tudor-style cottage that was known as The Shakespeare House. In retirement he became an accomplished oil painter\, and many of his paintings grace the homes of family members and friends. Clifford had a distinctive laugh\, what some might call a giggle. He loved to watch (and rewatch) The Three Stooges\, giggling the whole time. \nClifford had strong opinions about things\, and wrote frequent letters to the local newspapers\, often disagreeing with elected officials and the other powers that be. He knew about literature\, architecture\, history\, and politics\, and he brought those subjects to bear in his lively missives. To combat the debilitating effects of acute arthritis\, Clifford was always on the move\, walking his dog\, riding one of his several racing bikes\, or swimming with friends several days a week in Dover\, New Hampshire. \nBut to those who knew him well\, one of his most charming traits was his love of roller coasters. Over the years\, Mary would drive him all over so he could ride the biggest and the best roller coasters\nAmerica had to offer. He rode each roller coaster twice—one trip in the front seat and one trip in the back seat. Two completely different experiences he would tell you\, a “rode scholar” on the subject.
