The Serenity of Little Sebago Lake

As told by Mary Roberge

Jim Butler from the class of 1961 (SPHS) used to teach the young kids to water ski and he was a very popular guy on Little Sebago Lake. He went on to become a financial advisor and currently resides in Monterey, California. During the Viet Nam War, he was a member of the Special Forces. He recounted how he was once caught behind enemy lines with only a hatchet and low on ammo. He attributed a large part of his survival to his remembrances of the peaceful serenity of Little Sebago Lake in former times.

Jim’s family and ancestors are buried in the cemetery next to the fire station right on 302 here in Windham. His family and heart is always in Windham. (Little SebagoLake)
