Maine must be a good place to live.

Saturday’s BDN obituaries pages carried some interesting figures. Of the 22 listed deceased, six were 90 or older; five were 80 or older; and five were 60 or older. The average age of the 19 whose age were listed was 76.6 years.

While figures do not lie, and though they may be used selectively, it is still an interesting figure for this day for central and northern Maine.
