Margie and Charlie Emmons continue splitting their time between Maine and New Hampshire for a stock of children and grandchildren. Daughter Beth Lowenstein, husband Ben, and daughters Ellie (Bates graduate in May 2023) and Annie (senior at Bates) and son Sam (now at Colby after athletic career at Yarmouth HS) are based a mile from the Emmons in Yarmouth. Son Chip and partner Rachel are developing their several-acre property in Hollis, Maine, with fruit trees and vegetable gardens; Chip works with an architectural/construction firm in Portland, and Rachel is a physical therapist for “older folks.” Son Matthew with Heidi live “a frenetic life” with young teen sons Woody and Charlie (who is raising a pair of oxen; Woody will have received his oxen by the time this is published) plus numerous sheep, alpaca, mini-goats, chickens, ducks, guinea hens, etc.
