Dear Sun Spots: I’m inquiring about the Cat’s Meow Series of miniature building replicas. I’d like to know if it’s possible to obtain some replicas that were made of Lewiston buildings and churches – specifically the former St. Mary’s Church and the old St. Dominic School Building that was torn down. Thank you. – No name, No Town.

Answer: Trista Woodruff, Cat’s Meow MarketPlace sales coordinator, sent a list of the following pieces that are available for Lewiston: the Blue Goose Tavern, Sam’s, Luiggi’s Pizza, Simones’ hot dogs, St. Mary’s General Hospital, Bates College Chapel, and the Bates Mill.

It is possible to special-order a specific piece. Simply take a good, clear color photo of the entire building and send it to the Cat’s Meow artists. The final piece will be a straight-on front view, but photos of the building at different angles and close-ups of particular details are very helpful. Prices and shipping and handling charges will vary depending on the number of pieces ordered. For tips on taking a good photo and ensuring color accuracy, as well as pricing information, contact The Cat’s Meow at 1-888-353-3744 or visit the Web site at www.my-world-online.com for a brochure. Each piece will also contain a back description, which can be used to describe special memories or recount events in your family or business history.

Dear Sun Spots: Please tell readers when they should use their credit card! So many people are being ripped off these days – use that card! That way you can charge it back to the credit card company if you do not receive merchandise, get a shoddy product or have other issues. Just follow the directions on your credit card billing statement. – No Name, No Town.

Dear Sun Spots: Does anyone still buy fur coats? Thank you so much! I appreciate any help I can get regarding this matter. – No Name, No Town.

Answer: Sun Spots only located dealers selling new furs. If there are any dealers locally, perhaps they would contact the column with their information.

Dear Sun Spots: Wonderful to know the Briggs Cemetery is being helped with a facelift and I appreciate those responsible. My direct ancestor, John Briggs, is there and I wonder how many can also claim this? I have done a Briggs book of ancestors and items of those in Auburn, Minot, Buckfield, etc. Having been always interested, as a grandfather married a granddaughter of Gov. Wm. Bradford and came to Turner early in 1800s. Welcome any interest, Beverly Norton Newton, P.O. Box 62, Burnham, ME 04922 or 207-487-5429. – Beverly, Burnham.

Dear Sun Spots: I am writing about a letter that was in the paper about three weeks ago. A person wanted a thing to put on a record player so she could play 45s. (No Name, No Town, Sun Spots inquiry Tuesday, Oct. 14) I have one and I would be glad to send it to the person that wanted it. Contact me at 207-539-4004.

I also am looking for a classmate who graduated from Wilton Academy in Wilton in 1961. Her name is Barbara Brown and she had an older sister named Carmen.

Her mother just passed away. Last I knew she lived in Ellsworth. I sent her a card at the address someone gave me and the letter was returned. I read your column all the time. I just hope the right person gets this. – Sharon Bumpus, Oxford.
