| Dick, I doubt that
Laurie would know but Don Keirstead knows about it. He was in the
Maysville School when I was in the Hayford School. And indeed I can send
you a copy of the Hayford picture but I will have to find it first,then I
will scan it and send to an e-mail address that you give me. I moved here
to Kentucky in April and the pictures are all in boxes but I could find
it, I'm sure.I sure am glad that you are working on the country schools.
Its almost a lost memory now, but I know kids would love to hear about the
way we "country kids" went to school.We had about 50 in our school and one
teacher (who usually boarded at our house) took care of them all. I sure
don't remember any discipline problems!! So many
memories..... | |

| Carolyn C.... I know what to do: I'll call Lauri (Lamoreau) Kierstead who lives just up the Caribou Road from the Parkhurst Road. Perhaps she or her husband can show me exactly where the school house was. I'd give my eye teeth for a copy of that Hayford School photo. Can we arrange it? | |

| Dick, Judy Burleigh and
I were in the class of '52,not '51. And, you will not find a clue of the
school now as its just a field but the Keirstead's house is still across
the road and there used to be a store that sold gas directly across the
road from the school,and a little house next to it. Reginald Brown from
Caribou and his sister Joyce lived there at one time. Boy, the memories
start to come back when you get talking about "old times"! I have a
picture of the school house that Olen Grendell gave me before he passed
away. Feels good talking about this. | |

| Carolyn C. Thanks for your response on Hayford School. Molly (Parks) Andrews (class of'60 as I am) is doing a history of the P.I. school system. Since we're classmates and and I do much P.I. history myself, Molly has asked me to scout around for information concerning the 20 or so rural schools which existed in the P.I. area before they were discontinued back in the '40's. Now I just gotta know exactly where that school was. I'll go looking on your directions, but probably will find nothing. You were class of '51; I'm looking at a '51 year book right now. Judy Burleigh lives just 2 stones' (maybe 4) throw from me. From time to time I come in contact with many of your old. classmates. Do you remember the school house on the corner of the Parkhurst Road and the Reach Road down by the river? | |

| Dick, the Maysville
grange WAS the Reach Road school. The Hayford school was further up the
road towards Caribou, close to the radio station. I lived down that cross
road by the station and Kilpatrick's lived where the road comes on the
Caribou road. Then the next farmhouse towards PI was Keirstead's and the
school was right across the road. | |

remembers the Hayford school (not the Reach Rd school that is still there)
on the Caribou road across the road from Earl Keirstead's. I went there
from 1939 til 1948. It burned in 1948. Happy New Year

| Yes, Dr. Donahue was a
GREAT dr! And I remember when I had to go to his office, the walk seemed
so long from Main Street, down back and up the little hill (below Wilder's
Jewelry Store). I also remember him making house calls! As a kid, I was a
bit afraid of the "black bag" and his voice was rather deep (lol)... but
he was awesome! | |

| My Dad was Dr. Gerald
Donahue and was a family practitioner/pediatrician dr. for about 30 years
in P.I. He died in 1972 and practiced up until 2 days before he died . His
office was below the Drugstore on Main St-near old Braden movie theatre. I
graduated in 1970 from PIHS and lived there all my life on Dudley St.- 2
minute walk away from Gus's/Gus's daugther's corner store. Happy New Years! Got back from Hampton,Ga. Enjoyed it but it was a hoot with 3 dogs,1 cat, and the rest of the family- can't mention all of their quirks; I am sure they'd say the same about me! | |

| Hi Tenlee, We got 20" in Damariscotta. These past couple of days have been gorgeous with our "Aroostook sky". Usually the sky on the coast is much grayer than the deep blue of Aroostook. It's nice to have this yucky brown grass covered for once. It's nice to hear from you. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, well, I guess it's not over yet. I'm heading to PI this weekend. I'll try waving at the camera. I've got to check out the Burlock Rd. I know it will be pretty out there, hoping to snowshoe up on our hill. Meredith | |

hope you had a great Christmas. We are finally getting some real snow down
here on the Maine coast. So far it's been like the Aroostook thick frost.
:-) It's so much fun to see good friends on this site. Mona, Gwen is so
busy with her new business that she hardly gets a chance to check her
emails. So if she's not answering it's not that she's trying to ignore
people. She's into flowers clear to her ears. She now delivers to most of
the florists in Maine. Mum would be so proud of her. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to all! D.C. may have a dusting of snow but they say
people can still drive- that's questionable since most people drive
terribly even without snow! This holiday season I have been almost hit
several times trying to walk in the mini malls near my house and then a
young dude flicked me off when he wanted the right of way. I must admit I
honked my horn at him afterwards!Where is the holiday spirit? We all seem
to busy to enjoy the season. I plan to kick back some when I arrive in
Atlanta to a house with 2 dogs,l cat, goldfish and a Dad that screams
periodically at a high functioning 6th grade autistic child. All of us
will be there so it will still be enjoyable! Will be back Fri. late so
will be here to veg out for New Years. I get drunk on one wine
cooler! | |

| Yes Arch, after my
mother died in 1993 at the age of 96, my brother said to my sister and me,
"well, we are the old timers now!" Now he passed away in 2001 and how much
I know that we are the "old timers"! But like you said, its a state of
mind and we have to keep busy and ignore the signs of old age! I had an
Aunt that once said, people used to get old and die, now they get old and
linger....Well, I want to linger and DO something! Everyone have a good
Christmas and do't forget the reason! Carolyn | |

| Ellen B. I remember Mackin's although I was only 5 or 6 when it was a popular spot for afterschool high schoolers. Remember the tables in the back on the left? That's when cokes were a nickel. Thats when one would hear "Heartaches" or "Peg o' My Heart" (Harmonicats...one of my favorites) or "Dance Ballerina" by Vaughn Monroe on the radio or from the juke box. Didn't you love it? Don't forget that the baseball field at the fairgrounds was named after Bill Mackin. Bill lived up on Barton St....wife, Belle, adopted daughter, Yvonne. Wight's Furniture was there until 1920 when they built their own buiding around the corner. Also same place WAGM purchased in the '50's and built a TV station out back.... | |

| Pooch... One other item: Back sometime in the early to mid '50's, I was playing in your backyard nd your mother made me a "Sandwich Spread" sandwich. Now...."Sandwich Spread" was a product which came in a jar just like mayonnaise. It was mayonnaise mixed with minced pickle (relish). From time to time I still make a sandwich only I mix the mayonnaise and relish. It's inevitable that when eating that sandwich I can only think of that day behind your house on Whitney. I simply can't separate the two. That's the first time I ever told anybody and now the world knows. | |

| Posie...I get my tickets
at the lowest fares by clicking on to Priceline.com. You name your price,
needs and requirements plus dates, submit, and then check back in 15 min.
to find out if your offer was accepted. I saved $75. the last time.
Calling the airlime direct and asking for 'super-saver' also is a savings.
The down-side is: this time of year everybody's going south,hence seats
sometimes full; you may have to change planes; and tickets a little more
pricey right now.Hope this helps a little. | |

| O.k. glad we lost the
snow and ice. I slipped on it almost a week ago and am just recovering. I
didn't break any bones but got a contusion on my knee and pulled the rest
of my tired old muscles. Doc said I'd be without pain in 10 days- almost
there. Fresman initiation- my brother Mike was taken out in the woods and had his sneakers thrown away. Mom was a bit mad,as anyone that knew her my Mom was a great person but when angry you knew it. She made my brother tell her who did it and called them up and informed them that they would go retrieve his sneakers; if memory serves me correctly the guys involved gladly accomplished the task. Happy Holidays! We will be in Atlanta,Ga. with my husband's family. Anyone know of good web sites for cheap flights- haven't found any good rates yet so may have to drive. Ugh! | |

initiation rites.....it was Pooch Roderick's brother, Pete, who, with a
bunch of others like Phil Tardy and Nate White, took me for a ride (fall
of '56) to Mapleton, somewhere deep into the woods. There I was made to do
push-ups and later walk home. Somehow, I don't believe they do those fun
initiation rites anymore....'fraid of lawsuits. As an aside, Pooch's nephew, Greg, and I have become sort of buddies.....we're both part of the Air Museum at the terminal in P.I.. Pooch, you've contributed a photo or two to the Museum; they're the ones of the DC-3 from the '50's. Have you seen 'em? | |

Jeff and Dick for responding to my messages. I recently had the
opportunity to visit Jack Pasqual in San Antonio, TX. It had been 52 years
since I had seen or heard from Jack. We were both in the class of '48.
Again, thanks Dick for your message. I agree, I don't believe we've ever
met, but like you, I knew of you and some of your activities. Do you ever
see Paul Higgins? He and I are still very close friends after so many
years. We both learned to fly about the same time 1946, I think was the
year that we both soloed in an Aeronca 7AC from a grass strip out on the
Caribou Road. Again, Jeff, keep up the good work in maintaining this web
site, and Dick, I will probably be back in PI next summer for my 55 class
reunion ... even Jack Pasqual said he'd be there. Jeff, Jack's father was
John Pasqual, owner (?) Boston Shoe Store, next to what used to be
Thompson's Drug Store or next to the Boone Block on Main
Street. | |

| I've been peeking in for
a few weeks now, reading all your interesting comments. It seems like such
a neat connection with past and present, so like others, I offer my thanks
to the engineer. I readily identify with the notes of nostalgia, as I have
many good memories of my childhood there. As an adult, I truly appreciate
the values I learned from being reared in the often tough and severe, but
beautiful, Aroostook County. Now I live in picturesque Southeastern
Massachusetts, just a breath from the ocean that I used to long for as a
child. I love to go back and visit Aroostook during potato blossom time,
as I did this past summer - the landscape is absolutely awesome, and it is
so much warmer than the beautiful winter there. I graduated from PIHS
Class of 1964 and would love to hear from others in my class if you're out
there. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! | |

| Born in good old P.I
circa 1937, I am enjoying reading the letters from old "Mainers". Even
tho' I've been away for many years, I try and get back at least once a
year. Can't beat the food, scenery, hospitality and service from local
establishments. Really miss all the Maine "ameniies". Appreciate the web
being set up, as I daily "wax" nostalgic, and check in to see Main St. an
read all the new letters and the news. My son, Greg Hoyt, would like to
get in touch with Marc Libby. Also, I went to school with James Lunney
Sr., and wondered if Rebecca Lunney is related? Here in Ct.< we have
more snow than Maine it looks like , if Main St. is any indication. Pat

| If the viewers punch
into "Discussion Forum", you'll find a photo of the west side of Main St.
facing Mackin's Drug Store, City Drug Store, the old Army and Navy and
A.M. Smith's. The photo was taken in the mid '50's. Up above in front of
the old Woolworth's store, is where I shined shoes in the early '50's. If
I made 25 or 50 cents in a morning, I walked in tall clover! The next 2
shots are of the State St. Bridge, one from 1920 and the exact same view
from around 1960. Downing's Mill can be seen on the later shot.

Having them in the discussion forum will provide a great place for us to reminisce or ask questions about them. I would also encourage all users to become registered members in the forum.

be in the 40's and it'll all be a nice slushy mess! Looking forward to
sunny Florida in a couple of weeks. Anyone going to be down in South
Florida? I'll be in the Ft.Lauderdale/Miami area from the 20th through the
2nd of January. I love the holiday boat parade in Ft. Lauderdale - a
couple of years I was on a boat in the parade with a great salsa band.
It's so much fun and if it's cool out - like in the high 50's and you're
out on the water at night - and you're a Floridian - you think it's really
cold! | |

| O.K., I asked for the
snow and I got it! Shoveled the driveway and steps down to the driveway. I
heard kids on the hill behind us so I got my toboggan and joined them. I
did a run by myself and then let a a boy talk me into going double with
him on the front. Poor decision! A child at the bottom of the hill didn't
see us coming and we crashed into him; Being on the back I didn't know
what happened until I was picking myself up and realized that I had a
terrific headache. I guess I must have a bit of Maine and a lot of
foolishness in me. We all laughed so hard,though, when we found out we had
survived. We said we could have made some money on America's Funniest Home
Videos. Today I guess there is black ice on the road- waiting to decide if
I drive my car or not. I know I know how to navigate but a lot of the
fools in this area don't reduce their speed and run off the road or into
you. I can't afford another increase in the auto policy. Take
care,everyone. | |

here in Houston once or twice a year. Of course, one visible snowflake
down here qualifies as a snowstorm. (LOL) When we do get an accumulation
of any kind (it is rare) everything closes, they call a holiday and strike
up the band. (well, at least the first one is true) We get a lot of rain
instead. The difference between rain and snow....Rain Shovels

uses umbrellas! Usually the snow melts when it hits the ground but today
we may get enough that it looks like something by the end of the day. That
doesn't happen often, only in the burbs. The kids love it. I like the

times a year and always enjoy coming back to a place I call home. The
weather forcast tonight in southeastern Pennsylvania is A Heavy Snow
Warning of between 2-4 inches of snow. I told a few people around here
that we had frost heavier than that when I lived in Northern Maine. The
grocery stores have been cleaned out of bread and milk in anticipation of
this storm. I graduated from PIHS in 1963. Thanks again for this site, I

| We may get 2-4 in. of
snow in the D.c. area between midnite and noon tomorrow. It will paralyze
us; we just don't have enough snow plows. By the third or fourth snow of
the year the cities have to borrow money to pay the bills for snow
removal- or buy salt from counties that haven't used theirs. My street
will get plowed out by supper- if I am lucky. I put on my L.L. Bean
gumshoes and shovel out the sidewalk. The rest of my family will think
it's too cold! | |

up but we always had one in Mapleton where my dad played Santa Claus and
passed out candy across from the old Turner Garage which is now Trett's. I

I do believe Albert Stevens is more or less retired but have never seen evidence that Frank bought the practice. He does practice along with Dick Engels. I do my legal business in that office with Frankie and see Connie B. She was sort of my contact when Bobby passed away. If I win the lottery in the next few weeks, I'll send you girls a carte blanche mini vacation to P.I.....there will be enough money to have your own private parade. How's that? | |

mother's brother. Not only that, but I practically lived at their house on
Dudley Street with Nancy and Cindy when we were very young. Since nobody
won the lotto this weekend, maybe one of us will win next weekend and we
could take all our friends to the parade since it is up to $30 million
right now! Also, Posie, I don't know if Frankie Bishop bought Al Stevens
law firm or not, but I know he is a lawyer and my cousin, Connie Bubar,
from Fort Fairfield works for him. I think the web cam is right on his
office window or, inside the window, righnext to the hotel coffee shop.
I'm always driving when we go home too, but I love to walk Main Street and

Good idea to come north with Jeanne and sit on Frankie (not Jim) Bishop's steps to view. Could be you'd better be sportin' a blanket or at least long johns, because it could be mighty cold (in case you've forgotten, we're just a short ways from the Arctic Circle)..... | |

| It will be GREAT to
watch the Parade of Lights down Main St. P.I. from here Saturday nite
Dec.7th. Tell any family & friends you still have up in the County to
give a wave & hold up signs in front of the camera!...but please be
sure to give us room to WATCH the Parade! I remember watching the first,
& second parades(when they switchd direction down Main St.)! I moved
away to the Tourist ridden coast of Maine after that. I am looking forward
to seeing the parade once again Dec. 7th on here!-Di a former "County

| Mike Roberts - Haven't
heard back from you since you signed in a while back. Just really curious
as to what was the year Robert's Market first opened? And when was it
sold? | |
