Shirley was born and lived on a small farm in the area called Moose Meadows near Feyler’s Corner, Waldoboro. She attended a one-room school; there were 31 of them at one time in town.

Hodgdon Green Happenings
In keeping with the rejuvenating season of spring, several of the residents and staff traveled up Route 1 to Moose Crossing recently. Staffers Angela Eastman and Connie Libby and residents Flora Hewitt and Lila Blechman selected a variety of plants for the home. However, on the way back, a stop was made at only-in-Maine Moody’s in Waldoboro for socializing and supper. A great excursion! The flowers were later put into pots on the porch for all to enjoy. Resident Shirley Haley helped with the finishing touches.

“By far the greatest number of my poems speak from the heart of a child. That’s probably why students relate to them so well; but adults do too, which makes me suspect that the child we were is still very much alive within each of us.” – South Bristol poet Arden G. Thompson, in the introduction to her 1989 book “Watching Ants.”
Truckin’ in America
Well, it’s here. I think it’s here. Well, maybe it’s here … SPRING! Folks, I’ve seen the sun and it even felt warm. I knew that new GPS I bought to help find SPRING was money well-spent!
