DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Temple Historical Society is gathering information on the Finnish families who came to Temple in the early 1900s to work in the local logging camps and to raise their families. Our history of this period is sadly lacking in information and photos. One family of Finnish descendants left in Temple has generously shared photos and information with us and we acquired a large number of negatives from a local photography studio that went out of business. However, we are still looking for any stories or photos relating to this time in our history that would be relevant to our project.

Those who have anything that would help us with this project, may contact me at betsyag74@gmail.com or at 778-0837. Meetings for the society are at 6:30 p.m. at the Town Hall on the third Monday of each month, April through November. All are welcome to join us.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Anderson-Staples American Legion Post No. 112 in Oxford held a delicious St. Patrick’s Day dinner from 6 to 8 p.m. March 14. It was for all veterans, members, guests and beyond. The food and fellowship was great and included music, raffles, treats for the children and fun decorations. The post has been active and part of Oxford for many years. I, as an Auxiliary member, was honored to help serve the dinner to members and the extended community.
Anyone interested in sharing this wonderful experience of volunteering to serve veterans and their families, please call me 577-9170. I also extend a big thank you to the veterans and spouses who brought and cooked this delicious boiled dinner! It was outstanding!

— Patty, Post 112 American Legion Auxiliary secretary, Oxford
