Goudy’s Point is the name of an area on Grand Lake Stream in Washington County, Maine. Grand Lake Stream connects West Grand Lake and Big Lake in the St. Croix River watershed. “Think of it. Three and a half miles of gravel-bottom runs punctuated by a 10-foot fall, a number of clattering rapids, occasional pools, and the rocky point where Curt Goudy of American Sportsman fame would fish [for landlocked salmon] all day.” – “Trout Unlimited's Guide to America's 100 Best Trout Streams” by John Ross, p. 9, 2005.

In 1922 Louisa Pierpont (Morgan) Satterlee commissioned a stained glass window depicting Great Head, Mount Desert Island, Maine from Louis Comfort Tiffany. She gave it to the Church of the Holy Innocents, Highland Falls, New York, in memory of her father, J.P. Morgan. "The Louis Comfort Tiffany-signed window, entitled "Creation," was installed in the church's chancel in 1922. It was the gift of Louisa in memory of her father. It states the opening to the Benedicite hymn of praise: "O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord: praise him and magnify him forever." It depicts massive Great Head and the sun rising above the ocean's horizon." – “The Satterlee Window” by Don Lenahan, Memorials of Acadia National Park site, 04/15/2013, Accessed online 09/25/15; http://acadiamemorials.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-satterlee-window-during-my-research.html The church, in which her father had been an active member, is near Cragston, the Morgan estate on the banks of the Hudson River, just south of West Point.
