DEAR SUN SPOTS: Does anyone have a 1964 Lewiston High School yearbook they would be willing to part with? I am trying to find one for my cousin. He graduated in 1966 and still has his 1966 and 1965 yearbooks. The missing 1964 one was tossed out by someone who was cleaning his apartment and did not ask him about it. He very much wants to replace it.

Please call me at 207-782-3852 and leave a message. We are very willing to pay a reasonable price. Thank you, Sun Spots, for all the people you help in such a variety of ways.—Donna, Lewiston

ANSWER: We have had very good luck matching up folks with other readers who are willing to give a yearbook. But if you do not get calls, try contacting the high school or you can look at digitized yearbooks at www.classmates.com. Let us know what happens.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: What is the purpose of the construction going on next to BJ’s in Auburn?—No name, no town

ANSWER: This question was asked at the beginning of the year but perhaps you missed it. It is a two-building apartment complex and a $5.2 million solar project. Here is the link to the story on the project approval: www.sunjournal.com/2021/10/14/auburn-approves-128-housing-units-and-a-new-solar-project.

There are to be 128 one- and two-bedroom apartments, plus a community center and gym. I am sure there will be more news about it as it gets closer to completion.

Whenever you have a question about construction, roadways, facilities or other features in your municipality, I urge you to contact your town office or city hall. The people employed there are prepared to help you. Never hesitate  to get the information you need straight from those in the know.
