...building in the hamlet of Topsham. Cole quit an incipient gray-flannel career in Manhattan to become a commercial fisherman, later edited several Maine newspapers. Cox is the son of Oscar Cox, a noted international lawyer. By no means opposed to all industry, they have warmly praised a few lumber and paper companies for enlightened use of Maine land.
