DEAR SUN SPOTS: Is it possible to find an obituary of a person deceased late in 1958 or the first week in January 1959?

He was called Stan and once I saw Stamford so this could mean his first name was Stanley or Stanford or his last name was Stamford. He had a farm in Livermore Falls, was married to Avis, and his son was Donald.

I’m writing the story of an aunt who was good friends with them, but I can’t find further information. It would be wonderful if you could find anything regarding this man. —  Leslie, no town

ANSWER: OK, Sun Spotters! You can help with this one. If anyone has information that could be useful in answering this question, please write in!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The vaccination clinic at Excelsior Grange No. 5 on Dec. 3 was a great success with 28 pets getting vaccinations. The Grange made $100 and Dr. Don McLean made $100 with the cost of his supplies covered. Dr. McLean said he was pleased that some animals got rabies shots that never would have gotten them if they had to be taken to a vet’s office. People came from Lisbon, Lewiston, Sabattus, Poland and Mechanic Falls, saying they read about the clinic in Sun Spots. You should be very pleased and proud that Sun Spots provides such a great service. Thank you. — Barbara, Poland

ANSWER: It takes every single person in Sun Spots Land to make this column what it is — a supportive, attentive, generous place where communication is key. Keep up the good work, everyone. I’m proud and pleased for all of us!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: In answer to the inquiry about Christmas books and movies, etc. (Nov. 22 Sun Spots) my favorite Christmas story was on the radio. I was very young, maybe 6 or so when I first heard Lionel Barrymore’s narration of “A Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens. Throughout my childhood, radio was the entertainment with programs such as  “The Shadow Knows,” “The Green Hornet,” etc., but every Christmas I looked forward to “A Christmas Carol” on the radio, sort of like “It’s a Wonderful Life” now on television.

Nowadays I settle for a television showing of “A Christmas Carol,” but I have never seen anything that compares to the vivid images that came to this young boy while listening to the radio. God bless us everyone. Happy Holidays.

After writing this letter, I had a brainstorm and looked it up on YouTube. What a trip down memory lane. Thank you, Sun Spots. I might never have thought of YouTube and looked, but it’s there! — No name, Leeds

ANSWER: Thank you for sharing that wonderful memory. I, too, still love listening to stories on the radio. Maine Public Radio broadcasts some also. “The Moth Radio Hour” is a favorite, but I also remember “Our Miss Brooks.”

Did you know you can discover or rekindle your love for vintage radio shows by streaming them with Audio Books, Amazon Music, or Spotify? And yes, many of them are free on YouTube. Check it out!
