"Arc of a Sturgeon" Casco Bay Bridge sketch
In spring 1992 George Neavoll, the Editor at the Press Herald, didn’t like the proposed
new Casco Bay Bridge which looked like just a highway over the water so he
called for sketches from the readership. I proposed a big arch thinking of St. Louis and called it
ARC OF A STURGEON. He published 3 of the sketches with mine at the top stating:
"I rather like the top design, myself, submitted by M. Belleau of Portland. When I learned he wears a T-shirt with the Einstein quote, 'Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds,' I thought to myself, this is my kind of guy."
Portland Press Herald snippet.
And no drawbridge.
