Television Comes to Bangor: A Conversation with Industry Pioneers
Today, almost every household—98 percent of U.S. homes— has at least one television. There are hundreds of broadcast, cable, and satellite television channels sending out programming to viewers across the world. Yet only forty-seven years ago, television was in its infancy. What was it like to be part of this new form of information technology? George Gonyar and Margo Cobb, interviewed in March 1997, were part of a small group that pioneered television in greater Bangor. They not only brought television to the area, but they guided its development over the next forty years. Judith Round earned her Bachelor of University Studies degree with a minor in history in 1999. She is a native of Orono, Maine, and is Communications Coordinator and Assistant to the Dean for the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture at the University of Maine. Her most recent history project was a commemorative calendar highlighting 115 years of research in the Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station. She would like to thank Mr. Gonyar of Orono and Mrs. Cobb of Bangor, for their interviews and insights

Beyond the Pond: My Semester Abroad, Converted into Creative Nonfiction
Creative nonfiction is a genre that consists of dramatized, true stories. They are portrayed through literary elements commonly used by poets and fiction writers. These elements include dialogue, a replication of scenes, character development, and detailed descriptions of setting and interior thought. Creative nonfiction allows the writer to find meaning beyond his/her experiences and reflect on universal and personal issues.
When I set out to write, I intended on writing one longer story that brought each individual experience together. As a final product, my thesis stands as a collection of different trips and events that all contributed to my time in London. Breaking up my thesis into separate chapters has been a visual representation of what the semester was like for me: I\u27ve captured distinct moments that can stand as independent pieces. But I\u27ve also joined them based on themes of self-discovery, nature versus city, and vocational exploration
France Like Nobody’s Watching: My Undercover Observations and Experiences in the Country I Love
This text is a series of 18 creative nonfiction essays that examine France, the author’s many experiences there, and her opinions of French culture and what sets the French apart from Americans. In a lighthearted, sarcastic tone, these first-person essays use narrative, anecdotes, and statistics to study, discuss, and, in some instances, contradict many of the stereotypes about the French. The work follows in the tradition of many other travel writers, such as Mark Twain and David Sedaris, who have used France as their primary subject. It was directly influenced by Dave Barry and his France-related columns, Adam Gopnik’s From Paris to the Moon, as well as the book layouts and visual style of Janice MacLeod’s A Paris Year. The manuscript will eventually be accompanied by photos and formatted as a book
