DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Edward Little High School Class of 1956 Reunion Committee is planning their 68th reunion on Aug. 29.
We have reached out to as many classmates as we could, but some people may not have received the letter we mailed because of the wrong address.
The committee is planning to retire after this reunion so let’s have a great turnout! If you have any questions and would like to attend, call me at 312-5405 and leave a message. — Betty, no town
ANSWER: This is just awesome and I love that you are still getting together after all these years. Let me know the details of the time and place so I can remind everyone who wants to come.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Your column has been a help to so many, and I hope it will be for me, too!
My 17-year-old granddaughter’s boyfriend lost the chain she gave him for their first anniversary as a couple while he was playing in the recent Lobster Bowl at Lewiston High School. They are just devastated!
The chain is gold with two charms, a cross and the letter “N.” If anyone has found it, we would be ever so grateful if they would call 212-6542 and make two great kids very happy! Thank you! — Sue, Auburn
ANSWER: Let us know what happens — my fingers are crossed!
