Pennfield, N.B.

Thanks. I've never actually been to the airbase. I used to exit there for Grand Manan Island Ferries. I did drive up around Utopia Lake and the area near it once with a friend, and to Fredericton, St. John, Levis, across from Quebec City and back across through north Maine woods. The train runs through there too, I once came from Buffalo to Toronto to St. John, N.B down to Pennfield by bus, train, hitchhike, ferry to Seal Cove, Grand Manan where my family had a house for a time for summer use in the village. It is said the village to have been originally settled by Americans, Dr. Faxon who built a sailing ship there before moving away over the War of 1812, a distinct Maine "Downeast" accent can still be heard there. The dialect "up the island" in "God's country" is more Canadian-British, once called the "Bermuda of the Fundies".
