Dear Sun Spots: The Androscoggin Grange No. 8 has been collecting canceled stamps. The organization that we sent them to no longer is in need of them. We would like to know if there is a kids stamp club in the area that could use them or if they could be sent somewhere to help the underprivileged etc. We are a nonprofit organization and would prefer them to go to a good cause. Please call Carol Buzzell at 946-7746. – Carol Buzzell, Greene.

Regarding your second question, according to the Web site, www.thomaspointbeach.com, Samuel Groves built the existing farmhouse on the Thomas Point Beach property in 1840. In the early 1900s, Ida Hambleton, a relative, inherited the estate. She developed the site, maintained it as a summer recreational park, offering 70 changing rooms, a dance hall and food services. The Brunswick Naval Air Station ran the park for a short time as well as the town of Brunswick. In 1956, Mr. and Mrs. Harry C. Crooker purchased and developed the 27-acre property, making it the public facility it has become today. The park has been managed and operated by Pati Crooker Mulligan since 1972. In 1993, Crooker Mulligan became sole owner and now operates as Thomas Point Beach, Inc.
