DEAR SUN SPOTS: When I attended Lewiston High School, I became friends with a young Navy man by the name of John Drigotas who was stationed in Florida in 1958. He would be about 80 years old now. I’ve wondered of his whereabouts for years and am asking your readers if anyone can help me locate him or if he has passed away and when. I now live in San Diego. My phone number is 858-513-4253.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thanks to you, Calvary United Methodist Church’s City Mission meal program has a replacement microwave! We had a number of calls first thing Tuesday morning from kind folks who offered to donate one to us (after they read the Nov. 20 Sun Spots). What a great service you provide and what generous, caring people your loyal readers are! We are so grateful to everyone who called.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you to everyone who came out for the Veterans Day observance at the Leeds Veterans Memorial. Despite the chilly day, it was wonderfully attended by veterans and other adults and children, including Daisy Scouts who laid a wreath at the monument and members of the Leeds Central School Student Council who raised the flag and led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Jim Dacyczyn spoke about why he had enlisted in the Navy, Rick Ness led the group in a prayer, and Barbara Grant led the group in singing “America the Beautiful” and “My Country ’Tis of Thee.”

The Historical Society is looking forward to hosting a program next spring by Lew Alessio about Lane’s Store which was located in Leeds Center. Although various people have items from the old store, there doesn’t seem to be any photographs of the interior. If anyone who has photos and would be willing to allow the LHS to scan them is asked to contact me at 207-933-4121. This should be a fascinating, entertaining program, so watch for further announcements.
