TWO Hearts, TWO Navy Vets, and their Love Affair with Maine

Nancy and Colin Sargent answered the call of duty proudly, fell in love as Naval Officers, and married at the U.S. Naval Academy Chapel at Annapolis, MD, joining a family history of Naval Service. Colin's last tour was as the editor of Approach, the Navy's Flying Safety Magazine. They returned to Colin's hometown (Deering High '73), Portland, Maine, where his dad, a decorated WW2 aviator, worked at Casco Printing at 104 Middle Street for more than 2 decades. This ignited his love for the printed word.

Portland Monthly Magazine is Colin and Nancy's—as well as our dedicated staff's (some who've been with us for 25 years)—love song to you. Join us as readers as we mark our 46th anniversary and celebrate our 41st year of bringing you Portland Monthly Magazine!
