The people: Personal stories
- When Ruby Brown found it too much to keep up the retirement cottage she and her husband had settled into at Ocean Park just prior to his death, she was delighted to learn that affordable apartments managed by Christians would be developed nearby in 1971.
- When Ralph Gaudreau was burned out of his apartment in Saco, he was shocked to receive a phone call from The Pines offering to talk with him about his urgent needs for a place to live.
- When the Durosts retired from their pastorate and had no home to go to, they found The Pines a very appealing way to maintain their independence in the company of people with similar interests and standards.
- When David spoke to a lonely older man at our meal center about his housing situation he learned that this man was paying almost 70% of this income for a very humble place to live. This man didn't think he was "good enough" to live at The Pines, so David had to persuade him to fill out an application.
