Letter to the editor: Beebe-Center is perfect candidate to represent Rockland, Owls Head

I would like to share some things I know about Pinny Beebe-Center and the difference she has made in my life. Pinny knows what her community needs. She has a first-hand experience with the people in her community because she has been right there helping them. She knows how to pull people together to solve problems. She’s an innovator; creating programs and services that make a difference. She also knows when to take chances.

I say she knows when to take chances because she took them for me. In the middle of my Bachelor of Sciences program, she took a chance on me for an internship when she was Regional Manager of Penquis in Knox County. Most interns do their internship at the end, but I wanted a different experience. Pinny had faith in me right away, and took me on.  She guided me, connected me in the community and has been a mentor to me for nearly three years now. She enriched my college experience ten fold. In return, I have been able to implement the skills I learned from her, working in our community.

Pinny is the perfect candidate to represent Rockland and Owls Head. I am confident that she will not lose sight of the needs of those she serves.
