    Content
  • 2 Nineteen Pine Street How this issue of Salt was made and who made it.
  • 4 Greenville: the Shifting Frontier As long as Ed Walden’s around, you can’t take the frontier out of Greenville. You can’t Ed out either — except on a slab. We look at Greenville through the eyes of some of its people.
  • 18 Radio and Night People You work the night shift while other people sleep. You like it. Not so many hassles, not so many people. Just you and your DJ.
  • 25 Violin Making in the Woods In the woods of Windham, Maine, Jonathan Cooper shapes violins “to have character,” a skill he went to Italy to learn.
  • 30 Old Things Recycling didn’t get born yesterday in Maine. People just didn’t call it that. Keeping things, fixing them, using their parts to make something else — that’s been going on for generations.
  • 42 A Tale of Two Workplaces Bates Fabrics and L.L. Bean Telemarketing are only a few hundred yards apart in Lewiston. They mark Lewiston’s change from industrialized textile town to a service-based city.
  • 59 Making the Looms Talk “Very few people can do this work and do it right. These people could almost make the looms talk. Fortunately, we still have a few of them around.” Fred Lebel of Bates Mill.
  • 63 Twenty Years Join us in celebrating Salt’s 20th anniversary. Twenty years of teaching students to document the distinctive region that is Maine. And twenty years of publishing Salt magazine.
  • 64 Fast Forward and Rewind Looking ahead at what’s to come. Readers comment on what’s behind.
