Maine students receive Joseph W. Mayo scholarships
Mar 09, 2021
Joseph A. Mayo of Thomaston and Augusta died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2002.
Mayo was a Maine leader, a five-term member of the Maine House and was elected Speaker of the House in 1992. A father of three and husband, he was nationally recognized for his expertise in legislative rules and elections, and completed just before his death a 10-year revision of “Mason’s Manual of Legislative Procedure,” now used by state legislatures across the nation.
ALS is a disease which strikes with little notice; a permanent cure currently does not exist. Mayo was particularly concerned by the impact of ALS on his and other families that had to deal with this affliction.
