Ex-Maine Aquarium owner sues Portland lawyer
The former owner of Maine Aquarium in Biddeford is suing a Portland lawyer, claiming that he purposefully damaged the owner’s plan to reopen the aquarium in Saco.
The Associated Press reported that Raymond Cronkite operated Maine Aquarium from 1984 to 1997, and that he was hoping to reopen the aquarium in a mill in Saco, before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2009.
