I thought maybe you were regularly hanging with the guy for a beer while watching a Red Sox game...<br />I'll have to go in the Maine sometime for a hike with my wife. I'll check your suggestions and tips when we'll do this!MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366182655374603950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-38713210421885979652012-10-17T15:25:52.026-04:002012-10-17T15:25:52.026-04:00No, I haven't.

In addition to some famous native folks (i.e. Stephen King) a number of Hollywood types have bought homes in Maine because of its beauty and laid back nature. Unlike them, Hansen appears to make his home here full time. Maine is big enough, and sparsley populated enough, that the odds of running into someone famous by accident are low.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-55206618735568063952012-10-17T08:56:41.374-04:002012-10-17T08:56:41.374-04:00Interesting fact about Hansen Chip!

It's not the kind of movie I find entertaining. The thing that disturned me the most wasn't a visual, but a sound effect when one of the kids was brained. The solid, meaty "thunk!" really got to me.<br /><br />True story - the guy who played Leatherface changed careers to become a writer, and moved to the coast of my home state Maine. He's become a sort of real-life boogyman for the kids in the town he lives in because of his role in this film. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/5121624/ns/today-entertainment/t/gunnar-hansen-life-leatherface/Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
