Dear Sun Spots: I have pension benefits due from Diamond National Corp. I have been unable to contact the company. Can you please find an address of the pension benefits administrator for Diamond National Corp.? – L.B., No Town.

Answer: Unfortunately, Sun Spots was unable to locate this company. It appears it was doing business back in the ’60s and ’70s but is no longer doing so. It also appears to have changed names over the years. Hopefully other readers familiar with this company would be willing to share any information with you.

Dear Sun Spots: I have a large baggie of cards for L.C. of Auburn. I can be reached at (207) 743-8459. – No Name, Norway.

Dear Sun Spots: I like your letters and answers. I saw lately that someone wanted some National Geographics. I called but the lady had so many answers that I am still stuck with mine. If someone wants some National Geographics, I have 50 of them from the 1970s.

Also, from the same period, some Gourmet magazines for a cook somewhere.

Please give me a call. I can be reached at (207) 782-5622. Thanks, Sun Spots! – No Name, Lewiston.

Dear Sun Spots: Just another update on the never-ending saga of National Geographic contributions. My call list is growing and now stands at a whopping 73! Can you believe it? I have had to refuse all of the latest calls due to the oversupply. I just can’t handle any more with my storage now taken up. I have kept the numbers of kind folks who continue to call for future need, if we ever do run out. Thanks again to you all! – C.A., Rumford.

Dear Sun Spots: Could you please tell me if the Maine Rebekahs’ cookbooks are still available and how I could get one. I have an old one, 1979, which is falling apart and would love to get a new one. Thanks. – A.F., Auburn.
