Isaac Lapointe of Empire Road in Poland, left, waves to friends, family and neighbors in front of their homes on Empire Road Friday night as his father, Yves, leads a parade of vehicles that slowed and honked at dozens of homes and businesses where well-wishers greeted them. Isaac’s stepmother, Diana Pinkham, wanted to do something special for him since his formal graduation from Husson University in Bangor was canceled, so she secretly called everyone she knew to join in. Isaac was a Dean’s List student all four years and was awarded the Entrepreneurial Award his senior year. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
