Totally Awesome 80's Party!!
Check out and post your own pictures and stories from Greg and Jaime's 80's Party at Champions...
Meet Our Crew
Marjorie Twitchell
Marjorie is Jaime's sister. She lives in Bangor with her enormous dog, Chloe and a cat named Bucky. She is a Human Resources Specialist for the air force base in Bangor. She is adventurous (she recently moved back to Maine after living in Alaska for three years), and multi-talented (she has worked as a photographer, a videographer, and as a radio dj).
Jamie Spear
Jamie is Greg's best friend. He is a talented golfer, and Greg once drank a sweet free drink at Jade Island after witnessing him hit a hole in one on Hole #5. He has numerous hole-in-one's on the disc golf course, and his senior year of high school he held the dubious distinction of most penalty minutes for the Messalonskee Eagle's Ice Hockey Team. Jamie is very competitive, and can turn any passtime into a challenge. Whether bowling, singing karaoke, bass fishing or cutting cards, your money is never safe around Jamie Spear.
James Sawyer
James Sawyer, a Native of Belgrade, is a senior estimator at Bath Iron Works. He graduated from Bowdoin College, at the top of his class, where he invited Bruce Springsteen to speak at their graduation. After a brief tenure working the actuarial tables at a prominent firm in Boston, James got his MBA from The University of Michigan. He logged time in Seattle as one of the authors of the Port Huron Statement, but then, feeling pangs of homesickness, he relocated to Central Maine in 2005 where he recently became an ordained minister.
He is also the only person to ever arrive at a Fall Classic via Taxi Cab.
Bethany Sanborn
Bethany and Jaime have been best friends since they were three years old. She lives in Westbrook with her husband Travis (just married June 14th!) and their two cats, Manny and Pappi. She graduated from UMaine, got her masters degree from Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, and she is now a public health professional for the city of Portland. Bethany and Jaime have a strong connection. After years of being apart, they ended up living in the same city, the same apartment building and will be married in the same summer. They even made the same appointment to try on wedding dresses last spring.
Nate Pierce
Nate is Greg's best friend. He's also his oldest friend. He has a love for the novel's of Larry McMurtry & the songs of Gene Simmons. One interesting fact about Nate is that Heart is not one of his Top 5 Bands of all time. Nate works for Central Maine Power, and saves us all from the Y2K Bug on a daily basis. He is a Die-Hard Pats fan, a Red Sox Loyalist, and a casual fan of the Boston Celtics. He isn't aware of any New England Soccer Teams. A skilled artist, Nate was second-runner up in a competition that nearly netted him The State of Maine Quarter Design.
Ben Pierce
He may look nice, but thats just a disguise. Ben & Greg are long time enemies, however, he is Nate's brother. Ben has a long list of hobbies. Writing & recording songs on his guitar; he is an accomplished drummer; a civil war re-enactor; an old west gunslinger; dressing up as Thomas Magnum, and drinking aged scotch with a smokey pungency. Ben also enjoys telling people the plot of movies they haven't seen and about episodes of Myth Busters. Ben is an amateur inventor. I'd love to mention some of his most recent innovations here, but they haven't made their way through the patent office as of yet.
Becky LeClair
Becky has been a best friend of Jaime's since they both started working for MSAD 49. They went on to teach Kindergarten together at Clinton Elementary. Becky is a UMF graduate and now teaches first grade in Albion. She lives in Winslow with TJ and their dog/son, Tucker. She is a thoughtful and generous person and has an amazing memory.
Kristen Kimball
Kristen is one of Jaime's best friends. She also happens to be Greg's sister. She is a USM graduate and lives in Bethel with her husband, Tucker (crew member) and their awesome son, Harrison, and their dog, Stokely. She is a talented singer (she won a karaoke contest at Old Port Tavern) and a gifted athlete (she once stuffed Cindy Blodgett).
Tucker Kimball
Tucker is one of Greg's closest friends, and also his Brother-In-Law. An avid World of War Craft-er, Tucker loves the Comedy of Chevy Chase, and quotes him often. Tucker, like Ben, is an accomplished percussionist which landed him stints with bands the likes of Sweet Jesus while studying English & Public Relations at The University of Vermont. He has a facial hair fetish & an adorable son Harrison. An aficionado of fine music, Tucker wishes he was at a Radiohead concert right now.
Kelley Cloutier
Kelley is one of Jaime's best friends. They met when Kelley was a student teacher at Clinton Elementary. Jaime thought she was about 20 years old, but then found out she had kids in high school. This is a common mistake many people make. She graduated from UMaine and teaches first grade in Clinton. She also lives in Clinton with her husband, Duane, their two children, Nicholas and Jayme, and a scary dog named Lucy.
