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 […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: This is in response to Rose of Lewiston (Dec. 12 Sun Spots) who was looking for the maker of the angel ornaments. I rented a craft table at the Oak Hill Middle School and the lady that made the ornaments had a table across from mine. The craft fair was put on […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: In the 1960s, I began studying the writings of Mahatma Gandhi who seemed to make more sense than other philosophers and teachers. By 1970 I started to import these books from India, and soon offered them for sale. Buyers were scarce, but profit was never the point since I developed a career […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: On Saturday, Nov. 19, my sister went to the Edward Little High School Christmas Fair where she found two beautiful Christmas ornaments. The one she gave me is green with angel wings and reads, “I have an angel in heaven, I call him my husband.” I have been so touched by it. […]

This past year several of the habitats and feeders were destroyed by high winds and trees falling on them. They are being repaired. Rose is still dealing with the loss of her partner, Norm Blais, […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS:  I would like to buy the book “Danger in the Everglades” by Frederick W. Keith (1957). Does anyone have an unwanted copy on their bookshelf? I have tried all the usual sources (Amazon, eBay, etc.)  This would be a very meaningful acquisition for an older friend who remembers it from childhood. Thank […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have a large number of Christmas ornaments, lights, candles, wreaths and similar items I would like to give away — for free — before the holiday. They are in containers, with an estimated total volume of 12-plus cubic feet. In addition, there is an artificial tree, and a couple of large […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Some years ago you printed my request in your column regarding donating boxes of sheet music that my deceased wife had collected over the many years of teaching piano lessons to local kids. I remember eight of these boxes went to the Auburn School Department for their musical instruction. One heavy box […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m asking for Sun Spots’ help. You have had success in the past helping people find things. My niece has lost her iPhone. She was on Pine Street in Lewiston and went to Kommunity Kritters, Community Credit Union and Webb’s Market area. Then she went to the Share Center and CVS on […]
