Close Elections Dominate 1962 Maine News Scene
The year saw two cliff hanger elections for governor with 227 vote and 519 vote margins, prompting recounts as Dolloff beat Dubord in the Democratic primary and lost to Republican Govay in the general. Kennedy visited Maine, a blue law revision sparked by Sunday business limits, and the state court upheld the Sunday close. Notable tragedy included Willis Olson’s family murder suicide in Lewiston.

Murder on a Camp Road Shocks East Winthrop
A 14 year old Avis Longfellow of Augusta was stabbed 40 times on a lonely camp road in East Winthrop on May 6. Ralph T. Park II of Winthrop was convicted in November and pleaded innocent by reason of insanity. His attorney appealed to the Maine Supreme Court. Weather headlines include a February cold wave with an official low of minus 41 in Greenville and unofficial 50 below at Indian Pond Dam. Fires caused half a million dollars in damage. In Scarborough a dismantled still found in a barn produced about 1,000 gallons weekly for six months and 12 men were arrested with all but one convicted. A riot by inmates at the Women's Reformatory followed the Cuban crisis. The first Maine bank robbery in two years occurred December 14 at the Canal National Bank in Yarmouth. Blair Sprague, paroled a month earlier, allegedly robbed that branch of $17,942. The worst aviation accident was a KC135 tanker crash at Loring Air Force Base in Limestone on May 9, where six perished.
