[Magdalen] Hog Island?

[Marion Thompson]

I was in Portland as a 16 yr old.  I rode the bus from Montreal and at 
the Portland dock boarded a ferry to, if I recall,  either Big Chebeague 
or Little Chebeague where I would spend a few weeks with a school friend 
and her interesting somewhat elderly parents.  Mother was the 
granddaughter of Anna Leonowens of ' The King and I' fame. Father was a 
very eccentric flame-haired doctor.  They had a Siamese cat, Ming Ping.
