Page 6. MAINE COASTAL NEWS June 2010 PASSING OVER THE BAR: HOPKINS & HINCKLEY O. D. HOPKINS
EAST BLUE HILL, Maine - O.D. Hopkins, 83, died peacefully Saturday, April 3, 2010. O.D. was born in 1926 in Beijing to Delnoce and Robert Hopkins and moved to New Jersey at the age of 2. O.D. came equipped with an extra-large portion of creative ambition and a small portion of self- doubt. Spending summers on the family farm in Hopkinton shaped his love of nature, of growing things and of building things. Starting out as a farmer, his boundless energy led him from farming and logging, to road and bridge contracting, to pre-poured concrete, to ski lifts, to amusement rides and, after retirement, to boat building. O.D. loved to build things and solve challenges. I n 1950, O.D. married Rosamond Coffin, and together they had three children, Miriam, Laurie and Nate. Rosamond’s untimely death in 1963 brought on a series of challenging personal events in O.D.’s life to which he responded in the only way he knew how - straight ahead. In 1964, O.D. married Jane Ashley, and when that marriage dissolved in 1973, he started over again by building a house he called “the diggings” on family land in Hopkinton. In 1978, O.D. married Hope Smith and entered into a period of personal stability and productivity that lasted through his retirement to East Blue, Maine, in 1991. O.D. soon found retirement did not slow his creative energies, and he became involved in boat building when he purchased Duffy & Duffy and Flye Point Marine in Brooklin and combining them into Atlantic Boat Company, serving on the boards of Husson College and Parker Ridge and other pursuits. In the last few years of his life, O.D.’s body failed to keep pace with his fertile mind, but he never stopped trying to
do the best he could with what he had to work with. O.D. died with grit and dignity. Above all, O.D. loved his family: Hope, his three children, Hope’s children Holly and Brad, and his 11 grandchildren. He set an example for us, that life, although not always easy, is to be lived with deep love and effort to be the best person you can be.

Anne-Emmanuelle Marpeau, Nancy Morgan-Barnes at Penobscot Marine Museum
SEARSPORT – Penobscot Marine Museum opens for the season with exhibits of Maine- inspired art by two contemporary female artists with dramatically different choices of subject matter and media. “Inside the Box – the Art of Anne-Emmanuelle Marpeau” is an exhibit of dioramas depicting scenes of maritime lore and legend from Maine’s past. In “A Sense of Place – Paintings by Nancy Morgan-Barnes,” the Searsport -based artist explores modern scenes of work and leisure in the Penobscot region. Both exhibits and the museum itself open May 28. Local residents and visitors will recognize many of the locales in Nancy Morgan-Barnes’s oils in “A Sense of Place.” Bold blocks of color and surprising perspectives of street scenes, a pool hall, a working port, a visiting circus and a boxing club reveal an incisive view of the region’s attitudes and everyday life. The exhibit runs through June 27, with a reception June 11 at
Sunday, April 4, 2010, with friends and family at his side, at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach, FL. Born March 15, 1937 in Bangor, ME to Henry Rose Hinckley and Gwendolyn Bracy Hinckley.

He then attended Deerfield Academy, followed by Bowdoin College and The University of Cincinnati. He later worked in Maine and Florida as a boat builder and also as an accountant. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Theresia Robben Hinckley and
two sons, Edward and George; his brothers, Robert and Hank and sisters, Ann and Jane. Service will be held in Southwest Harbor, ME at a future date. In lieu of flowers donations are appreciated to the Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Network at
