SACO/BOSTON – Last year, in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, in which four people were killed and nearly 300 people injured, State Rep. Justin Chenette (D-Saco) was frantically trying to communicate with his sister, Heather Chenette, who had attended the annual event to watch her friends race. While cell phones were not responding due to the volume of call traffic, Justin turned to Facebook where he eventually connected with his sister and found out that she was safe and unharmed.
