Dear Sun Spots: I enjoy your column very much. I sent a request in some time ago and thought it was in the May 26 column, when I saw yearbooks mentioned. Perhaps you didn’t receive it. I know that you get lots of requests, and it takes time for things to be printed, but in case you didn’t receive it, I’ll try again.

I have a cousin who lives in New Hampshire by the name of John LaBrie, who graduated from Stephen’s High School in Rumford in 1936. He will turn 90 in September. He never got a yearbook, tribute or broadcast, and his sister would like to try to find him one for his birthday, if anyone has one I could make a copy of, it would be greatly appreciated. Please call 364-3470. Thank you. – Barbara Doherty, No Town.

Answer: Unfortunately, Sun Spots did not receive your inquiry and is glad you saw fit to write in again. Hopefully readers out there will be able to assist you in your search. A very happy 90th birthday to your cousin. You might also note that birthday greetings from the White House might make his day. Sun Spots encourages you to submit your request to The Greetings Office, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC 20500.

Dear Sun Spots: I read your articles in Sun Spots every day, and I noticed you seem to find just about everything the people need or want.

Lately, I’ve been looking for some Royal Lunch milk crackers that are or were made by Nabisco. Could you please find out if they still make them, and if so, where I can get some? – No Name, No Town.

Answer: Sun Spots contacted Nabisco’s customer service department and was informed that Nabisco carried this product, on a limited basis, up until earlier this year. However, those few customers were just not enough for the company to continue making this semi-discontinued item. It has been permanently discontinued. But at least you’ll still have those fond memories. And perhaps other readers familiar with this product know of one similar to it and might be willing to share that information with you.

Dear Sun Spots: The Leavitt High school Class of 1977 is in the preliminary stages of planning our 30th class reunion next summer. In an effort to contact as many classmates as possible, a Web site has been set up. All classmates can contact Leavitt1977@hotmail.com to update their mailing address and e-mail information so they can be on our mailing list for planning. They can also contact bdrich@midmaine.com to have their information added. Thanks. – Brian Richardson, Turner.
