DEAR SUN SPOTS: You’re always such a great resource and we’re hoping someone in Sun Spots Land can help us. The Center for Wisdom’s Women in Lewiston is open for limited hours from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday for women to drop in for free activities.

Sadly, our Keurig coffee maker has worn out and we need a replacement. We are hoping one of your readers has one that they no longer need. If so, please call 513-3922 to reach us during our open hours. The answering machine is always on. Thanks so much! — Sonia, activities director, Lewiston

ANSWER: I’m happy to spread the word for this amazing organization. Perhaps a reader will even step up and donate a new one or the funds to help you make the purchase. Sonia, please let us know what happens!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Someone was looking for a 1973 Raider gas tank. I may have one. He can contact me at 242-6709 to let me know if he still needs one. — No name, no town

ANSWER: This request was made on Sept. 8. I hope the person who sent the original request sees this and that it all works out. Of course, we want to know what happens!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I recommend Western Maine Machines for sewing machine sales, sewing machine repairs and clothing alterations. It’s at 43 Exchange St. in Rumford. The number is 418-0464 — Jim, Rumford

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Western Maine Machines in Rumford does zipper repairs.  They replaced a zipper in a winter parka for me! — Vicki, no town

ANSWER: I love stockpiling these recommendations. Take note, everyone. Here is the business’ website: https://wmemachines.com/. Wow, do they ever have a lot going on! Check it out.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: My husband and I will vouch for Roy’s Hamburgers on Washington Street in Auburn as the best french fries around. Whenever we crave french fries we head out there. When ordering, we do request that we want them “extra, extra crispy” and we are never disappointed. They have our vote! And they have great hamburgers and lobster rolls.  Pauline & Ben, Auburn

ANSWER: Sounds delicious!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am a french fry addict.  The best place for fries are Pier Fries at Old Orchard. — Helen, no town

ANSWER: You sound very definite! I have to agree that Pier Fries hold a special spot in my heart, and tummy!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: May I suggest Fast Eddie’s in Winthrop for the best french fries.  It’s on Route 202. — No name, Monmouth

DEAR SUN SPOTS: When I read about the quest for the best french fries, I thought we should also add onion rings. As I travel Memory Lane, Cooper’s on Sabattus Street in Lewiston use to have the best ever onion rings. They were fresh, not frozen, as were their french  fries. It was a small family-owned restaurant with great food and prices.  I don’t  remember when they closed. — No name, Lewiston

ANSWER: Can any other readers tell me more about Cooper’s?
