    About this ebook

    The trails of adventure chart the course of a life. In the case of Marianne Kelsey, she charts a course during a period of history when the world was recovering from the second World War and a Cold War had blanketed the globe. Traveling with her family as they moved from military stations across the U.S. and Europe, she saw up close not only the tumult of the times but the charm and grace of the old world that still glowed as it was transforming into the modern era. The locations, the people, the fun, the tribulations, and her growth into a cosmopolitan beauty are a pleasure to experience over those exciting and formative years. Go back in time and join her as she shares the wonder, glamour, excitement, and challenges of a world that invites us to return and enjoy what once was.

    Marianne Kelsey Orestis

    Born in Brooklyn, New York, during World War II, my father was a Colonel in the Air Force, serving as a soldier and jet pilot in the Korean War. This truth set my life story in motion. Through this lens, I witnessed the Cold War and the Iron Curtain, a post-WWII Pentagon, mid-century Parisian culture, emerging landscapes in Florida, and civil rights in a segregated south. Military life was the backdrop for all of these experiences. As a young woman and during a time of great social progress, I landed in Virginia, went to college, became a civilian, and got married, which precipitated a move to Maine. I am now an adopted Mainer and have lived much of my life here. It was in Maine that I came to the truth of my heart, a Scripture that reads, “I love you with an everlasting love; …” Jeremiah 31:2-3. These words drew me into public service, advocating for our most vulnerable: the mentally ill and the abused. I created Common Ties, a mental health agency that promotes dignity, equality, and respect for all. For this, I was awarded the Maine’s highest public service award, The Commissioner’s Award, which was presented to me by Governor Joseph E. Brennan in 1981. I have followed the Scripture and my heart since 1967. I became a pilot and the First Lady of Lewiston, Maine, designing a park that became central to life in Lewiston. With the call to keep my Virginia family roots intact while living in Maine, I joined the Daughter’s of the American Revolution (DAR). My work in public service is my best effort, and my involvement in the DAR, most dear to my heart. At their core, they remember our Heroes and their Service.
