Dear Sun Spots: It was recommended that I write to you in the hope of finding out where my Eminger Berries went. On May 12, I ordered special Eminger Berries for my 49th birthday and received nothing but an $89 charge on my credit card for my June 13 birthday. I have never been more disappointed in my entire life! What happened to Emingers? Happy Birthday to me! – Lisa, No Town.

Answer:
Sun Spots tried several numbers for this business and the mailboxes are all full. There are several notes on various Web sites indicating the company is no longer in business. Our reporter Kathryn Skelton dug around a lot and has learned that unfortunately, yes the business has closed and the former owner is moving to Texas. You might consider contacting them, via mail, through their former business address at Susan Eminger, Eminger Berries, 9 Grove St., Auburn, ME 04210 to see about the status of a refund. While the house where the business is for sale, there should be a forwarding address on file with the post office.

Dear Sun Spots: I am writing because you’ve helped me in the past.

I am wondering if there is anyone out there that would have a 1970 Edward Little High School yearbook they would be willing to part with at a reasonable price. I have tried the school but they are all out.

Also, what is the address for “Nickelodeon” because I would like to write to them. – J. B., No Town
