John and Priscilla of Sebec, Maine
Today a friendly gentleman approached our RV, saying he’d noticed from our license plates that we were from Maine. He and his wife were taking a walk through the campground, looking for other Mainers. They are John and Priscilla from Sebec, Maine. They went full-time in their RV in 1998 when John retired. They kept their home in Maine and rent it out. They’ve had the same tenants (”older folks”) for 8 years now so they don’t have to worry about tenant problems or anyone breaking into a vacant home…back home. They’re “snow birds” and are on their way back to Maine from Florida. They poked fun at us for our 100+ inches of snow this year because they were smart enough to head south last September.
They’re in a Class C like us right now, but are upgrading to a fifth wheel.
Priscilla is a retired schoolteacher. She said, “Twenty-three years was enough!” They have a 4-year-old grandson in Pennsylvania and they can’t wait to see him on their way back to Maine. They’re traveling with a large dog who they found as a puppy in Colorado.
While they’re here in South Carolina, they’re spending two weeks helping build a house for Habitat for Humanity.
