The family of Amber Golden wish to express our sincere thanks to all those who donated money to the Amber Golden fund at the 1st Bank in Wiscasset. Amber was in a car accident on June 6.

As a citizen of New Harbor, I happened to be on the parade grounds of Fort William Henry at Colonial Pemaquid for the season’s opening event, a sprightly Pipes and Drums Concert, which the crowd of over 300 and I enjoyed immensely.

I would like to thank the citizens of Wiscasset for their votes. I especially thank those who took the time to write letters to the editor on my behalf. I was genuinely surprised at the number of votes received.

Remember the old true and false questions? If any part of the question is false, the answer is false.
