Rest in Peace, Nate! Thankfully we have these memories from both you and Danny. May you both rest in peace.

Replaying his Belmont Stakes win as the statue is unveiled… the perfect finish for this occasion! *goosebumps*

Wonderful video; thank you for posting. What a thrill for Ron (& his family) to be the subject of such a beautiful piece of historical art, which will forever grace his hometown ❤

Thanks for great video. Would be nice to see some other info about this mill like old photo or video. I`m sure that someone has it in his archive ....

Thank you very much for posting this. Not only is it interesting, but it brings secretariats into our hearts.. he is a gift from God

Hello, I want to use this video in a new documentary series but I can't seem to find the copyrights owner, would you be able to help me contact the right person? Thank you

Ron just hang on and don't fall off

2022 Stellar Eagle landed in Maine. Stand strong and true. Tough stuff but.. do your best . Upchich❤️ outdusis /little pathway.🐢

When this popped up on my yt feed I wasn't sure if I wanted to sit through the full presentation. I am glad I did. It was a wonderful program to celebrate Canada's favorite son! I couldn't help but cry. Ron was a very gentle jockey and all he had to do was talk to Secretariat. Poor Sham was hit many times by the whip, he even cracked a bone in one of his front legs. Ron is a very special jockey. Gracious, kind and a hero to the sport of racing. God bless you and yours Ron, great job#

I am so sorry there is no comment I will comment this is so beautiful

Medway is my home town! Thanks Bobby for the memories. DWS class of "81

What a great tour and a great effort really enjoyed your video I am moving to the Little Italy neighborhood in the spring and look forward to learning the history of what is a fascinating town

i thought the old railway that went through campbellton nb was the Intercolonial Railway line.. Might be wrong but...

Ron turcotte best jocky ever

I know it's been 10 years but this is so good 🔥

From all the video relating to the races with Secretariat, I saw a great jockey and character of a man who understood the horse and truly loved him.

first day. /😿

One of my dad's colleagues at a major midwestern university summered with his family on the islands near Norcross, Me worked construction at the East Millinocket Mill for several seasons in the late '50's early 60's. Hard to believe it's all gone. Downtown Medway had the best lobster rolls, hope that is still happening.

I worked at a Moss Point MS Mill for 23 years, somewhat similar, they shut it down and all is left is dirt, they sold it for scrap and bulldozed it. We were a Specialized mill for creating different types of paper creating the formulas and perfecting them. Most all other mills couldn't figure out and couldn't run the paper we run. The companies we dealt with raised all kinds of Heck with the Owner of the Brand because no one else could make the quality we could, also some of the Companies we sold to supposedly went out of business trying to get other mills to make the same quality paper as ours but couldn't.

MEDWAY!!!!!

There is no doubt in my mind that if not for the accident that stopped his racing career, Ron Turcotte would have been the 2nd or maybe the 1st greatest jockey in the history of racing. George Wolfe is the greatest now.

Does anyone know about when this video was made? Or maybe who were some of the people in it? I left East Millinocket in the fall of 1974 at the beginning of ninth grade. Still miss the town and all my old friends from there.

I know I’m writing many years later. But this is beautiful! I’m a teen but I have a lot of family from Millinocket, and I go up a few times every year! Great video!

Aww, I love being a Mainer!

Remarkable twosome 💙💙💙💙💙💙

So memorable

My father played during the mid 1950's for LaGrange High School and would I dearly love to show him ANY high school basketball games from that time.

I wonder who filmed this😂😂😂

That end was pretty moving. Damn there’s something in my eye.

Very nice, canoed that section of the river many times back in the 70's. Fishing was always good at the penstocks, must be so much better now that the stream is so much cleaner! Nice video Bryant!

So far this is the best US state anthem I've heard.

it is most littttt

What a class act the last one left of bigred team, Ronnie, just don't fall off

could of done without the music

The

Native Texan here that lived in Maine for five years. It's a beautiful state and enjoyed my experience there.

How the hell did an alcoholic mix of Moose facts and depression become a state?

Thanks for the trip home for a minute. Love y'all Johnny and Brian. Miss yall

I've never been to Maine, but I'd like to go there.

Ron and Secretariat were the Perfect TEAM.💙

Absolutely LOVE Maine! I think I could make it my home.

I drove up to Maine (unfortunately) from civilization (Boston). I noticed they changed the slogan on the 'Welcome to Maine' sign to "The State of Insanity." That about sums Maine up. Good job guys. Did what I had to do there, and got the hell out. Maine = depressing as hell.

I like your song

When I was asked to put this poem to music I first just read it to feel its rhythm and knew that I had sang this song before but with another lyric. The tune is an Irish folk song "Waxie Dargle" that I have performed. I told Cranny that I think that this "poem" might have been a song to begin with but written down and assumed to be a poem. It is a catchy tune with lyrics anchored in the Millinocket / Katahdin area. Slainte !

I live in MAINE GO MAINE!

Bravo pour le beau vidéo Daniel, Thanks for this wonderful souvenir Daniel.

Thank You so much for sharing this! Its really sad to see what the mill looks like inside after seeing this video! Unfortunately they're going to start scrapping it very soon! There are still millions of dollars worth of equipment left but they told me just a week ago all that's left is going for scrap besides the Biomass boiler,chip trailer dumpers, and the recycle building!

Thank you for posting this. This place was a part of my life and many others. Only a memory now.
