Abstract
Eugene Willman was born September 29, 1929 in Portland, Maine. At an early age he developed an interest in photography, which he carried into his professional life, as both a newspaperman and a television cameraman. He became involved with Maine politics through his job at Channel 13 News, one of the first three news channels to hit Maine. Although his contact with Muskie was not extensive, he offers insight into Muskie’s reputation as well as his influence on Maine and national media.
