DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am searching for a long-lost (to me) friend. Her name is Luann. I am not sure of that spelling, but I have details. My roommate Jerry and I moved in across from her at 73 Knox St. in Lewiston almost 50 years ago. She and her husband, Scott, moved to a place in New Gloucester, and I met the woman who would soon become my wife. Luann was my wife’s maid of honor at our wedding in 1974. She also had a brother named Tom, with whom I was friendly. I think her family lived on River Street, just behind Yvon’s Supersonic Car Wash. I would love to find Luann and/or Tom. Anyone can email info to me at mainefun40@gmail.com. — Steve, no town

ANSWER: Good luck, Steve. Let us know how this turns out.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: It is that time of year again for high school reunions. We would like to know about Lewiston’s 35th reunion. Is anything being planned? Thanks, Sun Spots, for help as always. — No name, no town.
