DEAR SUN SPOTS: We are in the closing process of reaching out to all students and friends who attended St.Mary’s Parochial School in the 1960s and the closing in 1967-68. You may not have graduated but are still welcomed!

Please call me at 782-1512 as soon as possible for more information or to make your reservation. — Rena Barnett, kgbarn@yahoo.com
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I would like to have the words to the old song: “If you’re ever up a tree, think of me.” That is all I remember of it. I do not know the title. Thank you. — No Name, Lisbon
ANSWER: Are you thinking of the song Lucy and Ethel sang on “I Love Lucy?” It is called “Friendship” and is from the Cole Porter musical “Anything Goes.”
The lyrics are available on several websites and differ slightly. On metrolyrics.com, Sun Spots found:
If your ever in a jam, here I am
If your ever in a mess, SOS
If you ever feel so happy you land in jail, I’m your bail
It’s friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgot, ours will still be hot
Lah-dle, ah-dle, ah-dle, dig, dig, dig
If your ever up a tree, phone to me
If your ever down a well, ring my bell
If you ever lose your teeth and your out to dine, borrow mine
It’s friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgate, ours will still be great
Lah-dle, ah-dle, ah-dle, chuck, chuck ,chuck
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose
If they ever put a bullet through your brr-ain, I’ll complain
It’s friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgit, ours will still be it
lah-dle, ah-dle, ah-dle, hep, hep, hep
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Do you know of any Amway distributors in the Lewiston-Auburn or surrounding towns? I would like to order. Thank you. — No Name, Auburn
ANSWER: Sun Spots does not. Readers?
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you for such an informative column. I have used your helpful information many times over the years! Your April 6 column involved a question about curbside pickup of compostable garbage in the Auburn area, and mentioned that in Portland they have such a service.
The company that does this in the Portland area, I believe, is called Garbage to Garden (http://garbagetogarden.org). They do it by subscription service and even provide special washed buckets with every pickup.
I think it’s a wonderful idea for the Lewiston-Auburn area. Perhaps Garbage to Garden could be convinced to send a weekly truck up there if they got enough subscribers from the L/A area. If not, perhaps someone in L/A should start doing it. — lu_hennings_manter@yahoo.com
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have aloe vera plants ready for a new home for free. — Ruth, 784-4278
