Burt and I [View all]

I met Marshall Dodge in 1975. I was a service manager for Electrolux Sales (Preble ST. Portland, Me) in 1975. Out of school and wondering what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Marshall came into the store and said, "can you fix this poor bastard?". It was a model G Electrolux vac. The best vac machine ever made. IMHO. Of course I could! So, I get his details and I see "Marshall Dodge". I looked at him and I asked. " Did you and Bert every find your way to Cape Porpoise.?" He laughed.
