I have been thinking about the possibility of having a UMaine Center for the Study of Late Antiquity, or something like that at Corinth. I have been tracking down the "Maine connection" - a woman whose name is Ada Small Moore, and was apparently a great collector and patron of the arts. She is the woman who dedicated the "Hall of Statues" in Corinth to her father, Edward Alonzo Small, of Rumford. I've located some information about her in genealogical data and such. I must say I am intrigued by this woman, apart from her connection to Corinth. I think she is my next small research project!
Gertrude Bell, Lady Stanhope, and now Ada Small Moore. I'll keep you posted!
