Abbott issues from generations of Maine woodsfolk and farmers, most directly from the Abbotts and the Meaders from around Albion. Being near water and seeing trees have been his life's necessities, while painting pictures and fly-fishing have been his passion, along with a high regard for the cinema, the Bosox, and the Pats.
