CARTHAGE – The Carthage Historical Society will meet at the museum building on Tuesday, Nov. 20, with Dr. Ethel “Billie” Gammon as the speaker. Gammon will share highlights of her 94 years as a teacher, wife, mother and especially her experiences as the motivator of the Norlands Living History Center.

In 2006, the Maine Folklife Center, an organization that is devoted to the preservation of tales and traditions of New England, published “No Flies on Bill,” a book written by Darcy Wakefield, Billie’s granddaughter, about her grandmother. Gammon is in the process of writing a sequel to the first book. The public is invited to a potluck supper at 5:30 p.m. followed by a short business meeting and the program.
