Both of their children were active in sports and they have fond memories of watching their games. Now they are busy following the activities of their 3 grandchildren, Cole, Thomas and Julia.

Endl, D.M.D. General Dentistry Dr. Endl graduated from Yarmouth High School, and completed her undergraduate degree in dental hygiene at Westbrook College. After practicing as a dental hygienist for 3 years, Dr. Endl had the novel idea (at the time) of a woman going to dental school! She left Maine and attended the University of Pittsburgh, earning a B.S. degree (Magna Cum Laude) in 1974, then her D.M.D. degree in 1978. Upon graduation, she returned to Maine and joined the practice of Dougherty and Barbour as one of the first female dentists in the state. Dr. Endl strives to serve her community through her active participation at the First Congregational Church of Camden, where she has served on many committees and as president. She also shares her time and talent by treating patients through Donated Dental Services and the Knox County Health Clinic. Dr. Endl and her husband Ed live in Camden, where they raised their two daughters. Another important dimension of their lives has been international travel and cultural exchange. In fact, "once upon a time", she and Ed traveled Europe for a year on a BSA motorcycle! In more recent times they have been host parents for three wonderful exchange students. Michael B.
