This position supports two different individuals

• My name is Dan. I live in an apartment in a small community in East Millinocket. I love music and making my own music on my keyboard. I am a very curious person, so I enjoy people-watching, taking things apart, and intrigued by cause and effect experiments.
• I love spending time outdoors in nice weather: sunshine, visiting with neighbors, and enjoying the flowers and plants. I like to go for rides, go shopping, visit my favorite restaurants, and do the volunteering duties that I have done for a couple of decades now. A typical day involves helping me get up and get ready for the day. Then I like everyone to follow my lead, some days I like to stay busy, and others I might be tired and want to rest a lot. The days I want to be busy going for rides, and enjoying everything that I like to do, or just hanging at my apartment listening to music or making my own music. I love getting to know people and spending time with others, but I find it hard to connect with others and will need assistance with that. I communicate by doing or showing you what I want or need. Paying attention to my movements and gestures is very important so you can truly understand me.

• My name is Pam.
• I live in my own apartment in Mattawamkeag.
• I am a history buff with a phenomenal memory for dates and events.
• I love cowboy music and gospel, listening to stories, following current events, root beer, cookies, and fish sandwiches from McDonalds.
• I love spending time outdoors in nice weather: sunshine, visiting with neighbors, enjoying the flowers.
• Coffee hour in my community and church on Sunday are favorites, because I love being the hostess and sharing a meal with others.
• I like to go for rides, go shopping, hear live music and attend plays.
• A typical day involves helping me get up and get ready for the day.
• Then I like to be busy, as long as I get to watch the Price is Right and the news.
• We will go for rides, visit neighbors, do some shopping, run some errands, drink coffee and joke around.
• It is hard for me to speak clearly, but once you get to know me you will find I am an excellent conversationalist.
