6118 Tenants Harbor - Gary E. Thorbjornson, 41, died Wednesday, July 13, 2005, when his fishing vessel "Sirius" was lost at sea.

Born in Rockland, November 15, 1963, he was the son of Jacquelyn Kaler Thorbjornson and Edward Thorbjornson.

Growing up in Rockland and St. George he attended local schools, graduating from Georges Valley High School in 1982.

During high school, Gary was very active in sports, and was an outstanding member of the varsity basketball team.

Following graduation Gary began his career as a commercial fisherman. He worked as a deck hand aboard the "FV High Chapparal" and the "FV Sea Trek." In the early 1980 he became captain of the "FV Joe's Lady."

Gary later joined his family's business as Captain of the "FV Sirius" and the "FV Erika Lynn," which he helped restore. Gary enjoyed his career as a commercial fisherman for 26 years.

On July 29, 2000, Gary married Tammy Davis, at the home of his father in St. George.

Gary loved spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed coming home to his wife and two children after a long fishing trip.

An avid outdoorsman, Gary loved snowmobiling, skiing, camping and freshwater fishing. He even enjoyed learning about football from his wife as they watched games together.

While doing gear work in Port Clyde, Gary was always accompanied by his beloved dog "Tyson."

Gary was predeceased by his mother in 1995, his paternal grandparents, Eric and Adrea Thorbjornson, his maternal grandparents, Elmer and Charlotte Kaler.

Besides his wife Tammy, Gary is survived by his two children Erika and Garrett Thorbjornson; his father, Edward Thorbjornson and his step-mother Gloria Beal of St. George; one sister and brother-in-law Terrie Thorbjornson of Rockland and Jacques LaMarie of Key West, Florida; two brothers Edward Thorbjornson and his wife Stephanie of Tenants Harbor, Travis Thorbjornson and his wife Renee of Thomaston; his father and mother-in-law Dennis and Stephanie Davis of Spruce Head; a brother-in-law Denny Davis of Spruce Head; his nieces and nephews, Zachary, Lauren, Elias, Jacquelyn, Anna-Lena, and Jayce Thorbjornson, and Hunter Davis, several step-brothers and sisters and their children; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A Celebration of Gary's Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, July 23, 2005 at Marshall Point Lighthouse, Port Clyde, Maine. Seating and shuttle parking will be available. A reception will follow at the home of Eddie and Stephanie Thorbjornson, Walston Road, Tenants Harbor.



Right next to Marshall Point Lighthouse and Museum is the Fishermen's Memorial, which is dedicated to local fishermen who have died at sea. A portrait of Gary Thorbjornson is engraved on the face of the monument. Gary E. Thorbjornson, 41, died on July 13, 2005 when his fishing vessel "Sirius" sank. There were 2 survivors of the sinking. After his death, his family looked into the possibility of a memorial, and the logical place for it was at Marshall Point. On the back of the monument are the names of 11 local fishermen, with the years of their births, and the dates of their deaths. The fishermen's memorial is an important monument to honor the fishermen of Port Clyde who have been lost at sea.

Port Clyde fisherman feared lost

July 15, 2005

PORTLAND (AP) – A fisherman made sure his son and another young fisherman had their survival gear before going back inside his sinking ship to retrieve his own gear, officials said. That was the last anyone saw of Gary Thorbjornson.

An air and sea search continued Thursday for the 40-year-old fisherman, but people in his home town of Port Clyde feared he went down with his 50-foot fishing boat, the Serious, which capsized and sank in water 70 miles east of Portland.

"Gary went down saving the two boys," said Thorbjornson's mother-in-law, Rachel DesGrosseilliers, of Auburn. "He was going down to the cabin to get survival suits when the boat went down."

Thorbjornson's teenage son was left holding the door when his father went back inside to get survival gear as the fishing boat sank Wednesday evening.

Garrett Thorbjornson, 17, waited as long as he could before the boat went under, sending him and David Wilgus, 19, into the water, said Gerry Cushman of Port Clyde, who was aboard the fishing boat that later brought the pair to shore.

Once in the water, Thorbjornson and Wilgus shared a single survival suit – each put one arm and one leg into it and squeezed in – before getting into a life raft that shot to the surface from the sinking boat, Cushman said.

DesGrosseilliers said late Thursday afternoon that she had not heard any more about Gary Thorbjornson's fate. In spite of the odds, his family was praying that he somehow survived the wreck.

"We're still hoping against hope," DesGrosseilliers said. "But we haven't heard anything new."

"They've got a few scrapes and bruises," DesGrosseilliers said. "But they were thrown off the boat before it sank. I think Garrett is in a state of shock right now. He's very quiet."

In Port Clyde, news spread quickly and by Thursday afternoon many people feared the worst, said Betsy Sherrick from the Port Clyde General Store.

"This is a real tight community here, so we're all hurting and trying to do the best we can," said Wilgus' father, Craig, from St. George.

At about 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, the crew of the Serious used a cell phone to make a distress call to the Serious' sister ship Irene Elta, which was 5 miles away.

The younger Thorbjornson and Wilgus fired flares from the raft to guide the Irene Elta crew, which came to their rescue, said Lisa Hennings, a Coast Guard spokeswoman in Boston. The two were plucked from the life raft about an hour later, but there was no sign of Gary Thorbjornson.

Six fishing boats searched the area, and two Coast Guard cutters were deployed to join the search. Aircraft searched through the night and a Falcon jet crew was slated to resume the aerial search once weather conditions cleared.

There were 4-foot seas and unlimited visibility when the ship went down. But the water was cold enough – 57 degrees – to cause hypothermia without survival gear.

The younger Thorbjornson waited at the door for his father until the vessel was on the verge of sinking, Hennings said. The boat capsized soon after and the life raft popped to the surface, and the younger fishermen climbed inside, Craig Wilgus said.

The young fishermen, who were not harmed, were transported back to their homes early Thursday by lobstermen Tad Miller and Cushman, Craig Wilgus said.

There was no initial indication as to what went wrong. The Coast Guard's Marine Safety Office in Portland was investigating.

DesGrosseilliers said late Thursday afternoon that she had not heard any more about Gary Thorbjornson's fate. In spite of the odds, his family was praying that he somehow survived the wreck.

"We're still hoping against hope," DesGrosseilliers said. "But we haven't heard anything new."

6132 Teutschenthaler Privatgruben ab 1845: Nord-Nr., Ackerstreifen, Laufzeit und Besitzer
Am 9.9.1846 beantragte Gottlieb Ufer den Bauerlaubnisschein für die Grube „N Nr. 39“ auf
den Ackerstücken 1787 und 1788b im nördlichen Keulfeld. Eigentümerin der Ackerparzelle
1787 war Dorothea Rosine Ufer, die Ehefrau Gottlieb Ufers. Für die Parzelle 1788b hatte
Ufer vom Eigentümer Bothfeld das Recht zur Auskohlung erhalten. Im Westen grenzte die
Grube „N Nr.39" an die schon leer geförderte Ackerparzelle Nr. 1786, im Osten an die
altpreußische 1789. Ufer betonte in dem Antrag, dass auf diesen Äckern sowohl er selbst als
auch seine Vorgänger schon vor
dem Erlass des Regulativs Kohle gewonnen hatten. Beispielsweise hatte er 1837 dort
zusammen mit Bothfeld Kohle abgebaut (Tab. 1). Das noch Flöz führende Feld zog sich mit
76 m Länge und 20 m Breite vom Köchstedter Weg nach Süden, bis etwa 80 m nördlich des
Wanslebener Weges.
Das Kohleflöz war 2-3 m mächtig, der Abraum 6 m. Im November 1846 zog Bothfeld die
Abtretung des Auskohlungsrechts zurück. Schließlich einigten sich Ufer und Bothfeld, die
Grube gemeinsam zu betreiben. Grubenvorstand sollte Ufer sein 32. Ob die Grube
aufgenommen wurde, ist bisher nicht bekannt

6145 The Story of My Experience With Partial-Paralysis
By Eva Mae Becker

I was born December 2, 1922 in New York City, one of twins, incubator baby and my twin brother died two weeks after birth. My mother died a month later. A retired nurse cared me for for eight months, resulting in me being malnourished. She was dismissed and I was then sent to Chicago, IL to be cared for by my Aunt Lisette Becker Heyn. I became quite chunky afterward, but thinned considerably by the time I was six and had my tonsils and adenoids removed. Being quite thin, I was introduced to ballet lessons, which proved to be of great help in filling me out.

I had all the childhood diseases, except mumps and scarlet fever. I had pneumonia at age nine (with which I almost died) due to no antibiotics in those years. At age 13 I had my adenoids removed again. I also had a tendon severed in my foot, which healed quickly, and found me back at the ballet studio in no time.

During childhood year I remember jumping from a garage roof and feeling a sting from my feet, all the way to my neck! I also remember falling flat on my back after being yanked from a swing and couldn’t breathe. I remember an excited adult massaging my back until I recovered. During my early 20’s I jumped from a street car with 4” high heels and felt a tingling in both legs and up my spine.

December 2, 1943, I turned 21 and remember it being the last time I danced out. For the first time in my young life I didn’t feel much like dancing that night, and for no reason, which seemed very strange, as I just lived to dance! I did a fiery Spanish dance with castanets and heel-toe rhythms. I took my aggravation out on the dance and really stomped my feet, then had to do an encore.

I had osteomyelitis in my little finger, which eventually required surgery to scrape away the bone that had been eaten away. I also had an emergency appendectomy in my early 20’s.

Two weeks after my 22nd birthday (mid-December 1944) I experienced what I believe to have been the first sign of my paralysis. I walked three blocks in the snow to a wedding reception. I had high heels on and was walking with friends at a swift pace when suddenly I collapsed with no warning! Fortunately, we were at our destination. As soon as I hit the warm room, my strength returned and I was fine again. I danced and had a good time and forgot all about the incident --- until it was time to leave. Fear seized me, so a friend who lived close by gave me her low-healed shoes to wear home. It was the one and only time my legs suddenly gave out.

During the early part of 1944 when I was on long walks or hikes with friends (which I loved) I would notice a tiredness after awhile. I always had an abundance of energy and it just seemed strange that I would feel this way, which was normal for most people. I spent 3-4 times or more a week at the ballet studio preparing my dances and teaching at night. Where my enthusiasm was always so great, it gradually began to wane, almost like a lazy feeling, which had my dancing teacher extremely upset with me.

I wore low-healed slippers for my Spanish dancing, but when I put on my toe slippers, I noticed I had to use effort to rise up, and my ankles seemed weak. It was so gradual that it took awhile to dawn on me that something had to be wrong! I had a talk with my family doctor who sent me to a neurologist, Dr. Abraham Low, low sent me to an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Ferdinand Seidler. X-rays revealed that I had a slight defect in my right foot (the same foot that had the tendon severed but never bothered me). Dr. Seidler decided this might be the culprit and suggested surgery, which was extremely upsetting to me. This happened on September 2, “VJ Day”. I remember crying all the way home for two reasons: The boys I had known who were killed in the war, and for myself, saying I would just died if I couldn’t dance! Yet, this was a time I thought I would completely recover after awhile. I was operated on in October of 1945.

Early in 1946 the doctor noticed I wasn’t healing as I should, which aroused his suspicions, so a spinal tap was taken at St. Luke’s Hospital, resulting in excruciating pain later. Our family doctor (and family friend) was quite upset over the fact that I was released much too early, and he also felt that they didn’t need to take as much spinal fluid as they did. I was in sheer agony! The finding from this spinal tap was the suspicion that I might have Charcot-Marie Tooth Disease. I walked with a limp - only due to pain in my foot, I thought. I could walk for blocks with no problem. I didn’t feel any weakness at the time, just the limp from my foot not healing properly.

In the fall of 1946, Dr. Low suggested that I get away from Chicago for the winter, so during the Christmas holidays I left for Los Angeles to stay with friends. My first complete day in California was New Year’s Day, 1947.

After a few weeks out in California I started going to White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles where I had various tests take. Still, despite my letter from St. Luke’s suggesting that I had Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, my doctors were in controversy.

After while the pain subsided and I began to fully realize that I actually didn’t have normal function. Surprisingly, this didn’t upset me quite as much as when people would tell me I would dance again if only I would put my mind to it. I really tried for awhile, trying to prove everyone was wrong. It was explained to me by a very understanding compassionate doctor one day, that my mind had nothing to do with it - the motor nerves were dying. I was then thought that I had Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gerhig’s Disease) and I was given only two years to live. Fortunately, the paralysis only seemed to go so far - an arrested case of something.

I was put in braces and had Kenny sticks for a while, until I realized I could get along without them. I only used the crutches when I knew I would be walking for many blocks and in crowds. I have drop feet and partial paralysis in my back, and I became a “balance walker” as one doctor put it. I was able to do just about everything except run and dance. My health was excellent. As one doctor put it, “You are disgustingly healthy for someone who has something wrong!”

I adjusted exceedingly well to the amazement of the doctors and all who knew me. It was just another form of discipline and I was old enough to realize my battle would be more mental than physical, so kept actively interested in things, especially people. I went back to school, joined organizations and finally took on a full time job, as I had an abundance of energy. A bit of wisdom taught to me as a child really reaped its rewards in later life. “Learn to entertain yourself --- don’t expect others to entertain you!” During my “transitional period”, I applied this philosophy by doing portrait work while listening to the great classics. All was not lost!

I made it point to continue to associate with active people such as girls from the water ballet, a skin diving club, etc., and just led a perfectly normal life. I married at age 30 and had three beautiful, healthy, normal babies.

Om the midst of my full life I was suggested that after not seeing any doctor in regard to my paralysis since 1951 - a 20-year span, I should, by rights, have myself checked again since doctors had never come to a final conclusion as to what I had. I wasn’t the least bit interested until it was suggested it might be hereditary….shock! I was terribly shaken up at the thought and immediately went into action. I contacted the MDAA of Alameda County headed by Dr. Hans Zwang, who put me through various tests, including biopsies. He biopsied the calf of one leg, the thigh of the other, below the thumb (normal muscle) and the shoulder. Dr. Zwang told me that so much deterioration had taken place, where the muscle had turned to fat, it was difficult to even find some muscle to test! However, he concluded that it looked like it might be Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, known as “Perennial Muscular Atrophy”. He didn’t seem to feel as though there was much to be concerned about, and was sorry he worried me so much. I finally relaxed!
