My travels this week took me to many parts of our state, including two beautiful communities: Port Clyde and Greenville. A fishing community, Port Clyde is also the home of the Herring Gut Learning Center which educates at-risk middle school and high school students. Jamie and Phyllis Wyeth were the ones who encouraged me to visit the Center, and I am so glad that they did. I saw a group of middle-school boys working to spawn and raise oysters, learning marine biology, math, business skills and teamwork as they did.
