DEAR SUN SPOTS:  The Edward Little Class of 1967 has set up our 55th year reunion for Oct. 8. It will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn from 4 to 9 p.m. with dinner and dancing.

We are attempting to reach all classmates by mail, Facebook, and classmates.com. If there are classmates who need reunion details or would like an invitation mailed to them, they may contact us at sandipipe@myfairpoint.net. Thank you for this wonderful service you provide. — Cathy, Auburn

ANSWER: I’m happy to help! Organizing a class reunion is no easy task so if you are in this class and want to assist Cathy or know how to contact other class members, let her know.

I am always willing to run lists of classmates that reunion organizers are searching for. It amazes me how members of the Twin City communities and surrounding schools keep track of one another. Many times, Sun Spotters have sent information along the pipeline to find the answers to just about everything! You’re all terrific!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: This is the final chapter of the Restoration and Preservation Project on the two building replicas in Turner. One was the Turner Centre Creamery and the other was the Toll Bridge spanning the Androscoggin River in North Turner.

Del Sennett built these for the 1986 Bicentennial in Turner. They were placed on town property for years but were in disrepair due to the weather over that time. It was our goal to have them restored then placed in an open shed and out of the elements. This has now been accomplished thanks to Leavitt Area High School Principal Eben Shaw and shop class instructor John Lipofsky, along with the high school senior shop class that did all the restoration work. It was a yearlong project for these students and a great learning experience.

We would also like to thank town officials for their continued support and to all those who donated in some way so this project could come to fruition. The signs have been placed on the buildings stating facts about them and their significance to the town. Our goal was to have this project completed in time for the July 4 festivities on the Turner Town Green. It is our hope that people will come to see this display and enjoy learning about the history of these two buildings for years to come. — Sharon, Turner

ANSWER: I’m impressed that the high school shop class got involved and I’m looking forward to seeing the replicas and learning more about them. Congratulations to everyone involved for a job well done!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: You are always so helpful. I went to North Temple School in Lewiston, (now McMahon School) in the late 1960s and early 1970s. There was a lady who taught art classes about twice a week. Would anyone remember her name? — No name, Lewiston

ANSWER: If no one responds to this request, try calling the school at 795-4140 to see if they have that information in their files.
