Growing up neat Towanda Pa in the upper Susquehanna, i remember a news clipping of a Manatee in the 50’s or so.it was originally reported as a sea monster, I’ve always wondered what happened to this creature after towanda residents caught it

Unfaithful -

I read McDonough’s letter to the editor in today’s Aegis quite compelling and absent any malice or what you call “mean-spiritedness”.

In fact, you have used a tired old ploy to misdirect folks from the issue at hand by making an ugly personal attack against McDonough and for this you should be ashamed. You can certainly disagree or dislike McDonough but to attack him, I think not. It makes you an anonymous and cowardly bully.

Well, both McDonough and the manatee are large mammals with a propensity to make waves, cause a commotion just by showing up, and judging from the other mammals at the Aquarium, enjoy being a spectacle.

I don’t know if manatees are as full of self-righteousness and hot air though. After thinking about this a bit, it is probably unfair to compare McDonough to a manatee. Manatees deserve better than that.

Whether you like McDonough’s politics or not, you have to admit that he is one mean-spirited dude.

And here I thought a story about a manatee in the marina in HDG would be a McDonough Free Zone…

Pat McDonough is not against people speaking Spanish or any otther language. Just to make sure people learn to use English for their own benefit.

Uh oh, this manatee IS from Florida. I bet he speaks Spanish. Let’s hope Pat McDonough doesn’t catch wind of this–he’ll probably have him harpooned!

We need a comprehensive program to keep the manatee infestation from continueing. We can not send him back to Florida for fear he might tell the other Manatees how wonderful it is here and they will take over the place. We need to close off the borders before it is too late. (sarcasam intended)

I think Havre de Grace should use the manatee’s visit into their marketing for tourism. “Havre de Grace”—even manatees want to visit.”

And yeah, it is a refreshing story amongst all the poltiical bickering.

I actually saw a flyer being passed around for manatee fishing charters.
Someone named Captian Dan. Has a number to call and a picture of a manatee on a hook.

When I first saw the pictures, I thought it was this girl I dated in High School…
then I remembered that she couldn’t swim…
