Carma,
I'm sorry to here about your Dad. Can you tell me where he worked in Presque Isle? I think I worked with him at one time but I'm not sure.

Kim..Thanks so much for your post! I have been going up home once a month for over a year and am so sad to watch him pass in such a slow way but he isnt suffering anymore so it is a relief at the same time. Thank god for memories and pictures!

If you click on links at the top of the page it will bring you to Main Street. Then if you look down the right side you'll see photos click on that and choose Paul Cyr's photo's. You will see more beautiful N. Maine life.

Brian, Great pictures beautiful scenery I miss the open country and wooded areas of northern Maine. Looks like the sport flying is getting popular there.
|
|
Brian Colton sent in some great fall pictures of the county. I put them in the photo album (you'll have to scroll way down to get to the right section). Thanks Brian!
|
Raymond, Sorry to hear about Dale, I too remember him.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Carma Cote Ouellette and her family on the passing of her father this week. If anyone had anything to do with race horses or spent time at the Northern Maine Fairgrounds/stables he was always a familiar and friendy face.
|
|
so sorry to hear of your loss, I think I remember Dale. My best to you and your family

Hi everyone,
The news hit me around suppertime today that my cousin Dale Soucier had died. We grew up together like brothers but over the years drifted apart. I beleive he struggled with alot of issues and saw no way out. I hope that people remember him and his family in their time of mourning. I am trying myself to understand why, but I really don't think anyone will ever know.

Todd just wanted to let you know your not the only one getting hate mail all mine was received on Sept 25. I guess people have nothing better to do. I don't read my e-mails very often so was surprised when that was there.
|
does anyone have any pictures from the reunion?
|
|
Hi everyone!! The reunion was great. I wish more could have made it. It will be great planning the 30th. Todd we welcome your ideas. I agree about feeling old. My daughter is a junior this year. Things are busy as usual. I get the strange emails as well. I would like to know who is sending them. Never a name of course. cowards. Take care eveyone. Love,Leah

Hi everyone-

Howdy all,
"People always tell me their life's story. Love they've lost their taste of glory.
He sat next to me at the counter in the diner said I used to be wall street but this is much finer.
He had a leather look on a steel horse harley a dark eyed girlfriend he called charlie.
He looked a little lost walking out the door. I think I knew what he was looking for.
Freedom sweet freedom.
I gased her up climbed back in my cab. To my wife I'm a husband to my kids I'm a dad. To the credit company I'm just another sucker. To the IRS a long haul trucker.
Some say that freedom's the power to do what one pleases. You can live like the devil but hold on to Jesus."

Howdy all,
Tim is entering the sixth grade and Ben is starting the first grade this year looks like I'll be really old when their both out of college!
Torry, I'm serious about being on the planning commitee for our thirtyith reunion and would like to start planning it starting in 2007. Four years should be enough notice for those who want to attend!
I don't believe its fair for one group of people to shoulder all the responsibility and work.
It may be early but this will be my first reunion and I want it to be the best.
T. Wilson

I feel old, too, Torry!!! It doesn't seem like 25 years ago we were in high school. My son is a junior and my daughter is leaving for college in 2 weeks (boo hoo). Hard to believe. They're both really excited, though, so that makes it easier to be an old lady!
|
|
I feel OLD! My son started 9th grade at PIHS this week!?! He is playing his first Varsity Sport - Golf and loving every minute of his first high school experience! Let's hope this enthusiasm keeps up for the next 4 years...
|
Howdy Folks,
How much does it cost to rent the club house? I think it would be a great idea to have a barbeque caterer for our thirtith reunion. I think Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers or a band with their sound would be appropriate. What do you think.
I'll help plan the next event and fund a portion of it. If I'm going to have a reunion ever I can help make it happen. I have some favors that are long over due up in that neck of the woods so if you don't mind I'll be on the next committee. I need some notice for the next planning meeting I can set up a video conference. Let me know.
Keep in touch.

My husband and I had a great time at the 25th reunion. It was really nice to see everyone again. Thanks to those that traveled to get here, and the locals that attended. Can't wait for the 30th!
|
|
It was nice to see those who could attend, I had a good time. Loudon is less than 2 hours from my house so Dufour has no excuse not to call. I had alot to do and only a short time there wish I could have seen a few more of the class. Again thanks to those who set it up and to those who showed up.
|
|
My wife and I had a great time at the reunion. Thanks to all who pulled it together, rented the club house and donated the munchies. I can't wait for the 30th!

We won't be able to make it up for the 25th. either. I hope everyone who attends has a great time! Please take pictures and post on here for us all.

Hey I forgot to ask I have two young boys 5 and 7 I am going up there but no longer have any family in the area to watch them so my wife does not want to go unless they can come with us to the function or if someone responsible could watch them for a couple hours.

UHHG!!!!!!!!!!
Not the froe picture of me, Damn strait that is scary. I told my wife the school lost all those.

Thanks, Visitor - nice catch. I made the change. I'll blame it on the yearbook being wrong:) If there are any other mistakes (and there probably are) just let me know!

Well, I finally scanned in all of the yearbook senior pictures. I must say, it was kind of scary at times; have you seen what we used to look like? So now when you click on a classmate in the class list (or on this message board) you will see their senior picture. I also made a page with all of the photos here. I put them all on one page, so it may take a couple of minutes to load if you're on a dial-up. You can also click on someone's picture there to get their info.
Nice going, Torry, with the reunion progress. Keep us posted...
|
We are looking at July 1st at the Presque Isle Snowmobile Club for the 25th Reunion "Get-Together". Mark your calenders. It will be BYOB and BAS (Bring A Snack).
We will post the next meeing time.

Hi everyone,
I was thrilled to hear that there is a plan for a 25th! I would love to help you all with the planning. Let me know when and where and I'll be there.
|

If we can do the reunion July 4th weekend, that would be perfect.
|
|
Condolences go out to Sandra Getchell-Pictou and Carol Getchell-Harrington on the recent passing of their father Perry.
|

I,m still planning on attending but will be away on business the weekend of the July 24 so please plan a date soon. Ken I'll call you in a few days I still plan on going up there memorial weekend to visit my mom's grave and see a few relatives, maybe we can get together rip the sleeves off our flannel shirts and pound down some cold brew and swear at the black flies....Sound fun?, you bet yah.

Reunion Survey Results so far: We have received 52 responses. 36 Classmates say they will attend, 11 don't know yet and only 5 say they cannot attend.
So that means we had better get busy and start planning. Most said they would like a 25th reunion to be held in July or they don't really care when this summer. I have talked to Susan Shaw Johnston and Leah Lamoreau Girardin and they are willing to help me. We are considering something one night at the PI Snowmobile club - very casual. How does that sound?

Any new developments as to the reunion?

hey there everyone in presque isle. Its been a ong time since i have been home i have lived in alaska, idaho, and minnesota, and am now residing in florida. I have 3 boys ages 21, 19, and 14. Their names are chris, justin and sean. I have traveled around the world and am now in real estate. Want to know when the 25th reunion will be as I plan to attend. thanks

Thank you K Dufour for your response good to here from you to bad the other folks don't keep in touch. Thanks for leaving me your cell # now I can haunt you for the rest of your exsistance. I plan on flying to PI on memorial week end if I can renew my aviation medical. High blood pressure forced me to not renew last year.

Dont you have an older sister as well around the same age as my sister Debbie or is that a faulty memory? Trudy looks amazing and when I seen her on the television it was like going back 30 years!!
|
|
Yes - that's Trudy! You should see her daughter (Morgan) she looks just like her!
|
|
Torry, Is that your sister Trudy I see on the Adelphia Channel down here in Southern Maine?? She hasnt changed in looks since she was a teen to me. Either that or she has a twin. LOL

Andy, I, for one, appreciate your willingness to moderate and make this site an enjoyable one. Thanks to all of the moderators (and contributors).
|
I've been hearing from people who are concerned that we "censor" this board, allowing only certain opinions. It's true that we occasionally need to delete messages that appear to be intended to inflame some contributors/readers. I just want to clarify that we only delete things when they are rude, offensive, mean-spirited, or inflamatory. We do NOT delete messages just because the opinion of the poster may not match our own! Feel free to write about any topic you want (keeping in mind the audience of this board) with any opinion you want.
Many of you don't realize that this board is subject to a huge group of "outsiders" who have nothing better to do than try to get people on here riled up and pissed off. Deleting those messages, along with the responses, then leads to our group becoming suspicious that we censor content, which leads to more posts relating to that, and the cycle continues.
For the record, I don't get any big enjoyment out of moderating on here, and I'm sure the other moderators don't either. But somebody's got to do it. It really is a no-win situation.
Some of you may be interested in reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/flamer.
So please post away with all of your stories, opinions, and ramblings; just don't get on here and start flames...

Oops another message - It was great to see alot of "81 classmates supporting the Wildcats! Julie Karnes, Karen Tompkins, Leah Lamoreau... - I probably saw alot more but I was also dealing with my 14-year-old son who is preparing for his debut at PIHS!?!
|
I just returned from Bangor - both girls and boys Varsity Basketball Teams won and moved forward to the next round. Congratulations to all of the '81 parents - I can only think of Susie Shaw (mother of Robb Johnston, manager of the girls team),Jerry McGlinn (father of Matt McGlinn, co-captain of the boys team) and Jennifer Desmond (mother of Logan York, player on the boys team) but I'm sure there are others that I've missed - let us know!

Howdy Folks,
That means hello out here in Hawk Country.
Incase you were wondering Brian I think the sun come up just to hear me crow.
I think I saw that Myrtle Beach biker thing on OC and thought it might be an interesting time If I were a biker. Most folks around here go to Stugis, South Dakota which might actually be that much further if you ran though that Canadian way.
Margo, please tell your Dad that the reason he's stuck to the ground is that its -111 degrees F out when the wind is blowing at 70 mpg and the ambient air temperature is -52.
I'm placeing equal bets on the Steelers and the Sea Hawks with no points. Its a very confusing super bowl for me.
Take care all.
Todd Wilson

Margo,
I can picture your Dad reciting that too. He was such a great teacher.
Is it crazy in PA with Super Bowl fever? I am rooting for the Steelers.

ain't it the truth, margo, ain't it the truth!

My Dad passed this on to me today
WHY I LOVE MAINE
It's winter in the State of Maine
And the gentle breezes blow,
Seventy miles an hour,
At fifty-two below!
Oh, how I love the State of Maine
When the snow's up to your butt.
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose, it freezes shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful,
So guess I'll hang around.
I could never leave the State of Maine...
'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!!
|
hey fellers!
well...another typical january in aroostook county....temperatures bouncing between "@#$%&$? cold" and "jesus, i think i'll take the bike out for a burn"!
the earlier than normal snow gave the sledders a jump start but unfortunately the past 2 weeks of rain has shot that right to hell! suffice it to say....the result of this roller coaster of a weather ride is a nice thick layer of ice everywhere. i swear....i've shoveled more sand this year than snow!
the last motorcycle ride of the year i had to run solo......nobody tough enough to ride in 15 degree weather. go figure? oh well......was fun to participate in the holiday light parade but no trophy again this year, dang it! but....since february was the first ride last year......only a few weeks left and we'll be burning the pavement again!
haven't had a chance to read the postings for quite a while. has anyone heard from todd wilson?......been wondering what he's been up to? (just kiddin, buddy)
has anyone in the class been to bike week at myrtle beach, s.c.? would appreciate any thoughts i.e. is it worth the ride? etc..
does anyone know if charlie roberts is the only member of our class currently serving in the middle east? would like to know if there are others.

The poll results are looking good! Over 30 people have said that they would come, 10 are undecided and only 5 said that they would not be available (one of those being Charlie Roberts who is in Iraq and will be there through the summer). Be sure to forward the survey to any fellow classmates that you have emails for and ask them to update their information on the website so that we can get info out to people.
Torry

Howdy Folks,
Andy, I couldn't agree with you more and I've available to state my opppinion at any time and liable to do so without warning!
That being said, how's the pole results looking for a 25th?
Peace be with you all in 2006.
Todd Wilson

For the record, Todd, I wasn't offended by your comments, and the "push your views down my throat" statement wasn't meant for you personally; more for society in general.
I actually enjoy a good debate about religion and/or politics, and have pretty strong views on both. Of course this isn't really the forum for that...
|
Also,
I'm well studied and have ready the koran, the bible new and old on several occasions), the book of Mormon (what was I thinkin), and I understand that we all come from Abraham.
I also have studied Shintoism and Buddism and have visted Shrines and Temples and have participated in their ritualisms.
I don't mind having a strong oppinion because to me it shows character and backbone which is getting to be a rare quality. So I respect oppinions and always try to understand first.
It may not be apparent but I'm the luckiest man alive and this is the best day of my life cause I can be me.
|
Howdy Folks,
I forgot to use my standard anti-inflamitory disclaimer stating that the views and oppinions presented aren't necessarily the one's that matter!
I also forgot to mention there's only two types of music. Country and Western!
Sorry to address that oppinion to you Andy it was all in good fun (at least in my oppinion) and not ment to drive anything down anyones throat which seems all to easy to do these days.
No more lectures though cause I have rights.
Sincerely;
Todd Wilson

Note, by the way, that the proper address for this class website is www.pihs81.com (it should at least start with that), so make sure any bookmarks are set right.
|
Gees Todd. That's a pretty strong opinion (there's a surprise). You might be over-sharing a little. If you had said "Allah" instead of "Jesus Christ" in your post you'd probably be on a government watch list by now. I guess you skipped the "Tolerance" class in high school:) I'm more of the opinion that if you feel Jesus is your saviour, fine. If you worship Buddha, fine. Do whatever you want. Just don't push your views down my throat.
Jeff - good idea. Check out the Class List on this site now. I added a couple of columns: one indicates if we have an email address for a classmate (the address might not be correct, but it doesn't bounce). Another column indicates if they've responded to the survey. Look for the "e" and "r" on the left. Right now we've got 252 classmates, 92 email addresses, and 24 responses (something like that anyway). By the way, most of the response so far indicate that people would attend a 25th reunion.
|
Howdy Folks,
Survived another Holiday Season. Hope you all had a "Happy Christmas".
I don't know whats happening in your community but there's a continuous debate here as to whether we can call Christmas Christmas because of it's religious conitation and the fact that it may be offensive to some folks?
All I can say to that is if you dont't like Jesus Christ you can go to hell noting that I'm not even a very religious person.
I just wonder if this isn't another ploy by some gay rights advocate to water down society enough so that we except a little more of their spoonfed bullshit into our lives.
So there you have it Andy an oppinion. However, as for the reunion, I'd love to attend as long as I haven't offened anyone to severely.
Todd Wilson

Hey Andy if you could post a list here of the peoples email addresses that bounced it would be of great help to find those people.

I hope everyone had a great new years. I know I did celebrating it with friends. I just got the survey for the 25th reunion. I actually had a great time a the 20th and will definitely come to the 25th.

Okay everyone - we're doing a survey about having the 25th reunion this summer. You should have received an email telling you the website to go to so you can answer a couple of questions about it (whether you'd come, when it should be, things like that). If you didn't receive the email just send me a note (pi81@summitsolutions.net) and I'll give you the address. We need your input - PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR OPINION. And make sure our other classmates know as well (a lot of the email addresses here on the site bounce).
Thanks!

Hello to the class of 1981!
This is Shauna Neece. As far you know, Sherri Neece (Johnston) is already become grammie to my daugther, Rachel who is 2 yr old!. She is so far excting to be a grandma. And Jessica, my oldest sister, is getting married in the fall of 2006. My mom is getting old and loving to see her 3 girls having baby, get married, college, etc. What a fast year for her to look back in High School! Why dont you guys send my mom a message which it would make her happy. Hope you have a very wonderful merriful of christmas! Smile! *shauna*

It's hard to believe the holidays have come so quickly! Hope everyone enjoys them!
|
It was nice to be up in P.I. for Thanksgiving we made a really quick stop. Like a 16hr drive is quick!
It was cold & windy but the snow Thanksgiving day was beautiful. I took a great picture of some pines with snow for my christmas cards this year.
I saw Janet Lamoreau-Cyr and her twins at the "mall" (they are so cute). I hadn't been home for Thanksgiving in 20 years!
|
Howdy Folks,
Hope all are having a great Thanksgiving and that your sharing it with family and friends.
Moving around the country has its benefits but it sure does curtail having close friends and family to enjoy the holidays. My wife and I have family in the Portland area and ususally have them over but everyone is 4 hours away.
Usually I enjoy cooking and entertaining during the holidays but this year I find I'm somewhat less encouraged to cook for my wife and the boys. The boys don't like to eat what I do and my wife would just as soon eat at a restaurant which is not something I even think about.
I'm thinking I would like to take them all back home for the holidays just so I can have some of the more traditional holiday happenings I grew up with. Nobody prepares you for being from New England in a foreign land. I am however still thankfull for my family here and will preservere I just wish the boys would eat potatoes?
On the other hand the boys eating less means there's more for me which would be a subject for another conversation regarding the size of my jeans currently.
Have a great Thankgiving.
T. Wilson

It was a few years ago that we discussed a 25th reunion (that's when I put the countdown on the site) - I wonder if it's still in the plans. Torry had suggested I put a survey on the site to see how much interest there is. I guess I'd better do it soon. Stay tuned...

Howdy Folks,
I think I would like to attend at least one in my life time and it would be about the right time to visit back home......

Hi all,
Laurie, I know, 25 years doesn't seem possible. Heck, having a kid in high school doesn't seem possible either, but it's true. The 25th reunion sounds like fun. I hope lot's make it, I plan to. How about you?

Just looking to see what was new and was pleased to see the memorial for Kimberly Dee Sherwood. I remember the day she had that photo taken, it was her Senior picture taken the summer before our Junior and Senior year. Jeff Cooper was the photographer. Kimberly had a pure heart and I pray her daughter was old enough when she passed to remember what a lovely person her mother was.

Your right Todd, we all have rights to form our opnions....and I told Patsy mine. There was no animosity there, just stating a fact. I dont need to leave my name, its totally irrelevant as to what the "Subject" was. Have a great day and God Bless all those affected by the Hurricane.
|
Howdy Folks,
We just moved up to a little town around Seattle and moving ourselves for the first time was hard work but we've arrived.
Over the years and throughout my travels in this country I heard many places called many things not all of the good not all of them bad. I've always considered my personal experience in a place to be more relevent then just a name because names are subjective and dependent on the namer's point of view.
However, I also believe in our right to form oppinions and voice them so Patsy I liked reading your thoughts and please be sure to share more.
Visitor, I don't understand why you seemed to take issue with Patsy but please be more specific. For example how about using your name and how about using your own writing to let us know about your personal experiences to help us understand.
Thats all I've got to say about that. I hope those folks on the gulf coast get the relief they need. Its ugly watching CNN slowly get the story out. How did Florida fare?
Sincerely;
T. Wilson

I see someone put a photo of Kim Sherwood on here, Kim was a very nice girl,not a bad word about anyone,just oneof those people that you could talk to and it would come from the heart will always remember her

Todd,
I spent a week in Ruskin, Florida visiting my cousing Cathy Crory ('79) last April. Although I had a good time and enjoyed Cathy's generous hopsitatlity, I was quite happy to escape.
While there, I saw an interview with author Carl Hiassen who theorizes that Florida is the cess pool of America due in a large part to its shape and location. It is shaped like a handle so you can tip the rest of the country up and let all the sludge run directly down to Florida. After all, where else in the world would a guy be elected to hold public office AFTER he has been convicted of assorted crimes and is serving a term in prison longer than his elected term? (true story) Just read Paradise Screwed.
Glad to be living in Maine.

Howdy Folks,
Florida didn't work out. I have to say it was one of the nuttiest places I've been in this country and I'm sure glad that I'm back out west!
I was away from my family off and on for 3.5 months and I have to say I didn't like that much either.
Learned some things on my way through and discovered some truths about where I'm at in life....what I believe is a rare event when you have so little time to think about things. Being away from all that I was used too and my family gave me some time to look at my life from a different perspective. It made me realize just how much was at stake with making the wrong career decisions and how it could affect the course my family is on.
I have to say I never realized just how used to being out west I've become and just how much I liked it comparatively. Its not fair to compair the two coasts because they are different and varied in the lifestyles they present.
Some casual observations were:
I felt like during most business transactions I was likely at risk of being short changed or ripped off in some manner. This occured everywhere from purchasing a meal to contracting with suppliers and suncontractors.
I can tell you that I thought it was funny how much people there would wave their hands around and jesticulate while they were driving like I could've understood and actually cared what they were jetsiculating about.
I can honestly say that New York people were the worst of the worst. If they weren't trying to close a donald trump single family housing realestate deal like I was buying a 100 acres of water front in Miami to build a casino on.....they were trying to drive over the very people I had working for me to get to the next stop light.
Its pathetic but people from New York can never leave New York behind they just take it with them where ever they go and poison the earth with their BS.
So things being as they were there for me I knew I didn't want to raise a family where they would be unduly influenced by a lifestyle that included the hustle and bustle of the east coast, poor schools, a crazy housing market, hurricanes, sticky hot weather, crazy drivers, and poor work ethic/habits.
Other than that I'm sure its probably a nice place to visit during the right time of year for everyone else besides me in the country but me.
I apologize to those that may consider SE Florida a nice place but just live there for a while before you take issue with me.
I know I can be a bit oppinionated but what the hell was I thinking?

Hey Everyone, thought some of you might want to help this family out. Take care.
Home trashed while owners on vacation
Wednesday, June 15, 2005 - Bangor Daily News
Damage reported in excess of $10,000 at Eastport house
EASTPORT - They were in Florida last week to attend a family member's wedding. It was their first vacation ever and Alvah "Junior" Seeley and his wife, Sandra Seeley, were excited. But just one day before the wedding, their delight turned to dejection. While they were away, someone had broken into and vandalized their home.
"My son got married in Florida and he wanted all of us there so he paid for all of us to go down and spend the whole week," Sandra Seeley said Tuesday. "I didn't realize until someone told me [Monday] night when my house was trashed [last] Tuesday, it was actually trashed on my birthday."
The Eastport police called them in Florida on Thursday and broke the bad news. The word "trashed" doesn't even begin to paint a picture of what took place inside."Massive destruction," is how Officer Chris Gardner described the scene Tuesday. "Everything from antique china, television, furniture, major appliances, everything had been either overturned or damaged in some way," he said.Police estimate damage at more than $10,000, but admitted that figure was climbing.
"We've lost a lot," Sandra Seeley said quietly.
Two juvenile males have been questioned as part of the investigation into the incident, according to police. No one has been charged.
Friends and co-workers of the Seeleys have started a fund to help them out. He works as a longshoreman and digs clams. She is a waitress at a local restaurant. She said they have five children. Two, ages 15 and 16, are still at home. "My other three are grown up and out on their own," she said. The Seeleys were not insured. "All I know is the fact that this damage doesn't appear to be covered by any insurance," Gardner said. "It's indicative of the fact that it's expensive and people have to choose what to go with and what to go without."
The Seeleys had left for Florida the day before someone broke into their house.
A few days later a friend discovered something was amiss at the two-story house on Adam Street behind the high school and called police.
Within hours, police were talking to two 15-year-old males. They declined to elaborate on the investigation.
Chief Matt Vinson said it appeared the vandals had been drinking.
Sandra Seeley's boss, Dotti Perkins, who owns La Sardina Loca Restaurant, shook her head as she recalled what the inside of the house looked like. She said police had asked her to accompany them to check on some of the contents. "They [the vandals] didn't miss anything. Every single thing in that house was turned over and destroyed," she said. "I guess they missed one shelf on the wall because it was behind a door. They even ripped shelves off a wall. Her son's computer got ruined, TVs. They've worked hard their whole lives. Junior clams to support his kids because there's not many ships coming here very often anymore," she said. "It's really frigging hard to make a living here in Eastport. Sandra's always worked."
The refrigerator and freezer doors were left open and food was ruined. Perkins said area churches had stepped forward with food packages.
Not only was the house trashed, but the vandals threw up on the furniture and rugs. "My rugs are trashed, they vomited everywhere," Sandra Seeley said. "They ruined all my blankets. We had to throw my couch out because you can't get the smell out of it." She said they plugged up the toilet with paper and then "did their job all over the top of the rest of it. I mean it was nasty. "A neighbor took a video of the damage. Sandra Seeley said the video made her cry.
First Assistant District Attorney Paul Cavanaugh said although he could not speak to the specifics of this case, he said it would be up to the court to decide if the boys, if they are charged, should be bound over and tried as adults. He said the judge would make that determination based on several factors, including the seriousness of the crime, any prior criminal history and public safety.
This is not the first time that vandals destroyed a house in Eastport.
In 1995, five boys trashed the summer home of a retired doctor. In that case, the insurance company paid out more than $97,000 for the loss.
City Manager George "Bud" Finch described this latest act of vandalism as a random act. He said Eastport is the kind of community that would help its neighbors. And Perkins is trying to make that happen. She has begun to raise money for the couple.She hopes businesses from Bangor to Calais will help, as well as eastern Maine residents. She said no donation was too small. "It doesn't need to be a lot of money. Five dollars because you take ten $5 donations and that's $50," she said.
Checks or gift cards from area stores such as Wal-Mart or Marden's also would help. Donations in care of the Seeleys can be sent to: La Sardina Loca, 32 Water St., Eastport 04631.

The Fall sun shown brilliantly.
I stood there alone trying to deny my tears.
A nice breeze blew up the hill I could smell the harvest dust in it.
My family all around.
My Old friends hurt and anger by my side.
Beautiful flowers all around.
A neighbor intruded clumsily.
There would be a frost that night.
Your home was the deep metalic green color you liked.
Two rocks placed with a sharp click.
I stayed.
They did a good job.
The sun began to set.
I won't forget.
That was my goodbye.

Hi Everyone....I must admit it is very nice to be able to read everyones letters....
Rosemary....yes I do remember the babysitting at the Bunnells...and everything else that went along with it....back then I thought it was great to be earning a dollar an hour and be able to have the fun that we had at the same time....I must admit, I certainly look at babysitters for my children with much more open eyes...lol. Rose...we need to get together...Waterville and Farmington are not far from each other...and with summer coming....sounds like a plan...and congrats ont eh camp...I remember our families getting together at the camp your parents rented every year. Say hi to everyone...chat soon

Well I hope some of the folks I went to school with will look at my photo and see my wonderful family. Life from the small community of PI has been good for me, but I still think about my hometown and I miss the folks up there (but not the blackflies). Most of my family has left that area also, my mom passed away about 10 years ago and never needed to go back. I want to say thanks for this wonderful web sight hopefully it will stay running for a long time and I can get a little news now and then. Bye for now!

Hello all! well I'm home sidelined with a Rotator Cuff Tear and did a google search, and look what I found,this site! I think this is great, a place to catch up with old friends and see what's happening. I haven't been up to the County for a while, I think the last time was in 92, after retiring Early from the Navy. we're hoping to get up there this summer, My son wants to see where dad grew up *L*. hope he won't be disappointed! but the timing on that depends on when the Docs want to cut the shoulder open.
It's been a few years and a lot of miles from PIHS 81 to now but I'm looking forward to catching up. Anyone who wants to say hello, my e-mail addy is on my profile!
|

Hi Laurie, it's on the West Shore, right beside my folks. I remember Dad taking us over by boat to Art Perry's camp on Oak Point- more camps there now but it's still beautiful. Portage is a special place...
|
|
Hey, Rosemary....where's the camp you bought? God, I loved going to Portage. What a great lake. It's fun to hear about everybody's lives on this site. I dare say we've grown up....
|
oops I'm awake.
Hey Mary must be busy chasing her toddler. She does live by Day's market, Kerry. I am in the Belgrade area visiting them alot- I live in around Farmington area so just a hop, skip and a jump. Hey Ally- call me! Arlene do you remember all the babysitting times at the Bunnell's?? listening to Pink Floyd albums... SO Todd I just got back from Ft Lauderdale area- it's nice if you can deal with the traffic (I am such a Mainer!)my husbands sister lives in Coral Springs. nice beach! and shops. and bars. and restaraunts.But I get to go to Dean's hotel alot this summer- we bought a camp on Portage. congrats to Lisa and her daughter. there- this is what happens when you forget to check this site more! long posts!

Mary my daughter is away at college right now finishing her first year, hard to believe actually we will be going down to visit her tomorrow she plays softball for the college she attends. I've got a couple wild kids myself 14 & 16 boys they love their snowmobiles and dirt bikes. Actually we have a few friends who live in Rome on the Watson Pond Road and in a Development off that road but the name isn't coming to me. I miss the county where thinking of buying some land up there for a camp its such a nice place to get away. You must live right past Days Store? Or in that area? We live on the lower end towards Augusta.
|
wow- too funny! I just discovered this site a few weeks ago(great job, btw!) and there is a post to ME! I had to go back and catch up on everything (yeah, including Rose's opinion about my wild kids! snicker snicker they Do give her a run for her money and sometimes i think she needs it!) Kerry, we've been here about a year and a half- I do love the area and people, technically we live in Rome but we're just above the bridge in the village. I miss the County but not the loooooong winters. So give me a yell sometime if you're in the area! I must say my life is probably MUCH different from most people our age - I'm still chasing after a toddler but he is a blast! btw, does your daughter babysit? :)
|
|
Mary where do you live in Belgrade? Thats so funny because i thought i saw either you or Rosemary a while ago but wasn't sure. I also live in Belgrade hope you like the area. Hope everyones doing fine. The PI basketball teams did a really good job this year, good luck in the future. Its so hard to believe that we can have kids old enough to be playing HS ball, but my oldest is almost done her freshman year of college at Merrimack College so I guess we are old enough Hope everyone survives mud season.

Howdy Folks,
Well looks like I'm heading back east. My new job will be in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area.
Can't wait for the sticky humid weather and hurricane season! Don't know much about Florida but expect I'll be learning a lot begining next month.
I'm a little nervous about the move but think that in the long run it will be a good one for my family. The way I figure it is that all those folks who retire to Florida can't all be wrong.
Take care All.

Lisa...I bet your getting anxious to see the new grandbaby...How long do you plan on being there after she has the baby? Please do call when she has it...Denise and I was just wondering about you the other day because we havent heard from you since you left Maine...Until the baby........

Regarding how things seem to shrink when you get older......I only wish my wasteline and weight would follow that same observation!

interesting idea torry, i wonder...rather a sad game since it was kyle's last one...i really enjoyed going to them...
we got quite a bit MORE snow...rather sick of it at this point...looking at a trip to the caribbean with a few friends at the end of this month...just need some SUN!!
|
|
I watched the game (on TV) - Kyle played a great game! I wonder if he still played for PIHS if we could have beaten Camden!?!
|
|
went to my nephew, kyle's, last basketball game in bangor yesterday...they lost against camden...the refs sucked but camden played a strong game...it's strange how the auditorium looks so much smaller now then when i was in high school...sort of like life i suppose---it's all so magnified when we're young then shrinks to a realistic size as we get older...go figure :-)
|
|
A bunch of PIHS fans went to watch Allison's nephew, Kyle Rideout, play (he used to play for us)! We got into town too late and I still have a "little" one that needed to go to bed!?! Sorry to not mention the girls - it's still a very sore subject! I don't think that any of us had a daughter playing but Paula Deschesne McHugh's niece, Natasha, played her heart out!
|
|
Hi all the girls did lose but what a game the boys play camden hills on wed at 8;30 in bangor go GO WILDCATS
|
|
I take it the girls lost, but when do the boys play again? Is it snowing in Aroostook? Looks like we are going to get 6 to 10 inches here in Southern Maine. Allison, I agree, great time in our lives and we do all look great.

Great Job to the boys varsity team, but remember there is a girls team as well. Even though they were out coached
the girls did a great job to get back in the game, and should be congradulated as well.
|
|
not my child torry, but my nephew, kyle rideout, played for presque isle and recently moved to dover foxcroft...went to the game between pi and dover a few weeks ago and it was weird to be cheering for a team other than pi...it was an awesome game...dover won by a couple of points but it was tight the whole game...saw sherry there---don't think i've seen you since school sherry but you look great! saw jerry at that game too...you looked great too jerry! i think we're all aging really well...i've decided that i really love this time in my life :-)

We just returned from Bangor. PIHS Boys had a great game Saturday at the B-Ball Tournament. Jerry McGlinn's son Matt had a great game. Sherry Michaud Beaulieu and Mark Lavway's son Chad helped with the win in a big way. Jennifer Desmond York's son Logan is also on the team. Forgive me if any other classmate has a child on the team and I didn't recognize them!?! June (Judkins) Gallant and I had a good time remembering trips to tournament when we were in High School.

So tell us Laura, whats happened in your life and how's your family?

Laura Helfrich!!!! I can't believe it....I was thinking about you last week.!

Drop me a note sometime...i'd love to catch up! Laurie

Hi. It's Laura Helfrich. I started out with the class of 1981. I was just browsing 'round the web, looking for information on Dorothy Dingwall (don't ask why) and found this site. I went through Training School and Cunningham with lots of you, and went to PIHS for my first year, but then I went away to school. We moved away from PI the year before you all graduated.
Just wanted to say "hi," especially to Laurie Perry, who was my very first best friend (long before either of us was allowed to cross Third Street on our own)!

Condolences to Maureen (Boyle) Patrick and family. Their father, John, passed away about a week ago. They were our neighbors many years ago, and I have a lot of fond memories of those days. Sorry for the loss...

Glad to see you made it home okay Lisa. Is your mom going to stay in New Hampshire for awhile? Steve was one heck of a guy and I cant imagine anyone who ever met him didnt walk away with a smile or smirk on their face. Take care Lisa and let me know when Missy gets close to her due date. We got 23 inches of snow here in Hollis last Saturday....It sure would look better on your front lawn there in Georgia....LOL

Howdy Folks,
Thought I'd write in and speak to some thoughts I've been developing over my past 42 years, please bare with me.
First though I'd like to give Lisa and her family my families condolences. I hope he lived well.
Secondly, I used to have a bit of a crush on Mrs. Piper, I guess I thought she was pretty cool. I'm glad to hear she's still vital, and thriving.
Last year I wrote down a list of thoughts to try and collect myself for pending changes and, at my own risk, I thought I'd share them with my peers.
FIRST are my goals =
Good Health. Got some troublesome structural problems that I need to deal with. Learn how to manage stress.
New project - new job maybe new career.
Buy replacement vehicle for my aged Dodge Dakota.
Buy new House - near future. Getting tired of renting need a great place for the family.
Maintain finiacial stability - Develope, save, work at it, and plan for the future.
Retire at age 60.
Put Boys through college.
I've always been very concerned that I did not finish my education and I want to keep this as a goal, but I've recently realized for myself - whatever made me think that my education would ever be finished?
SECOND are character points I either want to maintain or develope:
Be honest and develope integrity in all that you do. Give an honest days work for an honest days pay.
Don't take things out of your control personally because they are what they are. However, beware of people who tell you not to take it personally because your about to be screwed.
Don't accept less than what you've earned from your past. You'll only learn to accept less.
Develope winning strategies for making winning decisions.
If its important to you then don't take no for an answer.
Poor treatment will grow and fester, don't accept it. Nip it in the bud. Do whatever it takes.
Love your parents.
Learn to have faith that things will be alright.
Have a hobby.
Don't allow yourself to get bullied. Sooner or later your gonna have to face them anyhow. Do it on your terms.
Treat others as you wish to be treated.
Develope patients with the people who are closest to you. With all others develope a plan to limit their impact on your life. Follow through.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Its your supposed failures that will make your future as much as your supposed successes. Treat them the same.
Respect yourself first.
Change can be good learn to embrace it.
Hope all is as well as it can be with everyone.
Take care.
Todd Wilson

Does anyone remember Mrs. Piper? I was running a workshop recently at Westbrook High School and she was there! She's been there for three years. I believe her hair style (and color) is still the same. She hasn't changed at all. She must have been much, MUCH younger than I remembered because she looks my age now.
Maybe I was younger than I remembered?
With so many of our former teachers passing, it's nice to see one still so eager and vital.

Losing anyone is hard, but especially your parents. Happy Holidays, all! Rosemary, would you give my parents my best and wish them a Merry Christmas? My parents loved them both!

Sorry to sound so insensitive in my last post- my condolences to all of you who have lost parents- words don't quite do it, do they?

Merry Christmas, Todd, (and all) your post came to me as an email which got me interested in checking out this great website again. I am still in the Farmington area and twin Mary and her family are now in the Belgrade area- so that's cool- a bit closer. We head to PI in a couple days for a hectic, fun but short Xmas celebration- I can't wait! it's always good to go back :-) and we will be doing that alot more since we just bought a camp on Portage Lake! wahoo life is good! hope everyone is doing great too- Allison - let's meet in 2005 at Mary's for cocktails- her kids are wild~ don't tell her I said that! but they sure are cute.........

I remember sam some a little diffent but a good guy if you got to know him.Thank you todd for the email about everything going on and i agree losing someone you love is hard as i lost mom and dad both this year.Well i hope you all have a great christmas and god bless you all,mike
|
Howdy Folks,
I admire your resolve Margo. I can't imagine losing a parent as a child because frankly its hard enough losing a parent as an adult.
I remember the many of hoodilums cause I had to grow up with them too and believe me they know who they were. Hopefully they grew out of it.
In any case Merry Christmas all especially the hoodilums cause I gotta believe God love a hoodilum.
Todd

I was in Mr. Steven's class in fifth grade with him at Pine Street. And ofcourse it was "just being a boy" back then. Some things you just remember. It was the first day of 5th grade and he made fun of my mother dying 3 weeks earlier... that's how I remember him and Harry. My condolences.

More snow for Southern Maine? Kim!! what are you saying??!! LOL ok, ok....maybe just a little more than we have now would be alright. I knew Sammy while growing up in Mapleton but dont recall any of us going to any other school than Skyway. Maybe Sammy lived in the P.I. area when we were younger? It is very sad because his younger brother Stewart died a few years ago at a young age also as well as his mom. Condolences to all of his family.

I remember Sammy. I thought he went to Pine Street School and Cunningham. I don't remember if he graduated or not, but he was in the class of 81. Margo, you are right, he was friends with Harry Lowe. I think they did cause trouble on the playground, but I am sure it was all in fun :-) My condolences to his family and friends. On a brighter note, Happy Holidays to everyone. Can you believe it, 2005! Hoping for a little more snow in Southern Maine for a more festive look. Take care.

Sammye was from Mapleton, I would think he went to school in the 5th grade there wouldnt he? He wouldnt have got to Presque Isle schools until the 6th grade??? Gosh, I dont even remember him being at Skyway now that I think of it. Condolences to his family.

I remember Sammy Elliott he was friends with Harry Lowe in 5th grade. They were very annoying :)

I remember a Sammy Elliot but I do believe he was either ahead of us or not present all the way through. Did he play hockey?

Lisa, Still waiting to hear from you! I got back from Bangor on Friday. I never did get to see Denise; things did not go as well as I had hoped there so I never really dared to stray far. The good news about dad is that it was Stage 1 and hopefully they got it all in time. Please call or leave a note to let me know if things are going well. We are still wondering about Melissa and hope she is doing well also.
