Questions to Consider

Some questions to get you started

When and why did your family first come to Biddeford Pool?

Did they have friends and relatives here? If so, who?

If your family has been here for a long time, how did your parents or grandparents experience the Pool? How do your summers differ from their experiences?

In what activities did you and your family participate in the past? Tennis, golf, sailing, beach? mayhem?

If you were a child here, what games and activities did you enjoy? What is special about this place for children?

Has Biddeford Pool changed, or is it stuck in time (and if so, is that a good thing or a bad thing?)

What are your most cherished memories of summer here? Your most difficult memories?

What houses has your family rented, bought, built or renovated over the years?

Briefly describe your house here, what do you like and dislike about it?

What do you know about the history of your house?  Do you have photos of the way it used to look?

Do you think Biddeford Pool is a spiritual place? In what way?

Does this place stimulate your creativity? If so, please share the art, poetry or other projects you or a family member were inspired to do here.

Have you evolved from a summer person to a year-round resident? What do you enjoy about the winter here?

Please share other memories of friends and family members who are no longer with us.

If you have old photos of the Pool, please consider sharing them with the Biddeford Pool Historical Society, http://bpoolphotos.com. Contact Peter McPheeters, peter@oceanviewproperties.net
