Hello everyone! Hope all is well with you, wherever you are and no matter what you are doing. I was saddened to hear of Janice Harrigan’s death on Saturday, August 17. Janice had heart trouble and she will be missed.
Doris Hogan is a patient at Houlton Regional Hospital, at the time of this writing. Brian and Charlene Henderson have another grandson by daughter Amy, born in Bangor. Sorry I don’t have the father’s name but best wishes to all concerned.
On the sick list recently is Dorothy Campbell and Florence MacDonald. ‘’Flossie’ fell and was confined to her apartment for a few days with injuries to her arm and face.
Celebrating anniversaries recently are: August 16, Molly and Chester Bailey and Valerie and Daniel Pelletier; August 17, Bernette and Bill Roach (45 years). Happy anniversary everyone and may your happy married life continue for many years.
I must say thank you to all leaving bags beside my door and to the special person who brought me cancelled stamps. It really is appreciated.
Hope everyone had a happy Potato Feast celebration. Heard from some of my friends that it was a nice time.

On the subject of angels: Some attributes of a guardian angel: The keen sight of an eagle; the wisdom of a sage; the patience of a saint; the integrity of a martyr; a warrior’s courage; a mother’s love, a father’s guidance, and a divine nature inherited from God.
Susanne DeGrasse of Glenburn, niece of Lois Downing, and Cheryl Beiter of Georgia, were recent callers of Lois Downing. They had been to Caribou for a class reunion and described their reunion to Lois. They chalked up many memories and had a super time.
