The rish Wedding Blessing

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon the fields.

May the light of friendship guide your paths together.

May the laughter of children grace the halls of your home.

May the joy of living for one another

trip a smile from your lips, a twinkle from your eye.

And when eternity beckons,

at the end of a life heaped high with love,

May the good Lord embrace you

with the arms that have nurtured you

the whole length of your joy-filled days.

May the gracious God hold you both

in the palm of His hands.

And, today, may the Spirit of Love

find a dwelling place in your hearts.

Dear Sun Spots: We read recently that someone in Lisbon is looking for someone who was stationed at Sage AFB during the summer of 1969.

We are wondering if perhaps the person is looking for someone who was stationed at Topsham Air Force Station, a SAGE radar site. TAFS was a small radar site jointly manned by the Canadian and U.S. Air Force in the 60s. t closed in 1969, and the huge blockhouse which housed the radar equipment was razed. Today it serves as housing for the Navy personnel from Brunswick Naval Air Station.

My husband was stationed there from October 1966 to October 1969. We were one of the last families left in the housing area as the site closed.

We currently live in Otisfield for five months of the year. – John and Marjorie Ferguson.

Dear Sun Spots: We are looking for artisans for our second annual Apple Festival to be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 8. The rain date is Oct. 15. The festival will be held at the school grounds 2½ miles north of downtown Farmington and close to the junction of routes 4 and 27 in Farmington.

Please bring your own table, the focus will be on old-time goods and crafts, such as wood carving, paper cutting, quilting, candles, spinning, knitting, crocheting, soap making and more.

The money raised will help toward rebuilding the Fairbanks School. – Fairbanks School Neighborhood Association, Farmington.
