Pat Louise does Army Cpl. John P. Sigsbee, his family and all of Waterville proud in her cover story, "Hero Laid to Rest," in this week's issue of The Waterville Times.
************
A blog-reader has sent this E-note: "He (John Sigsbee) was a friend of mine in high school, though I hadn’t seen him in quite some time. I currently work and live out in Albany, and it’s been very difficult being away from home during this time of mourning. I cannot express how heartened I felt after looking at all of your photos from town, especially of everyone out during the parade. While I wish I could be in Waterville to celebrate this hero’s life, this experience has made me realize how truly blessed we are to have such a caring and devoted community."
And this, also by E-mail:
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sigsbee family. John's death is a sad reminder of the countless brave men and women, especially the very young, who have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our democratic way of life." -- Lou and Shirlee Langone

In "The Times," a suggestion that we remember to support our troops by wearing Red on Fridays. I'll try to remember to add a weekly reminder, here.

Reminder for Wednesdays: The Waterville Historical Society will be open today!
Reminder for Wednesdays: The Waterville Historical Society will be open today!
Yesterday was dull, dark and dank - downright gloomy - but brightened by the thought that in only six months (twenty-four short weeks!) the cardinal flower will be blooming in Nine Mile Swamp.
Before then, there will be lots and lots of flowers for us to look at, starting with these three great flower shows:
Flowers, greenery and more!I didn't receive any word at all from either the WFD or the Red Cross Auxiliary in re: the need for contributions of clothing for those people who were displaced by the fire on Sanger Avenue. If I hear anything I'll let you know.
In the meantime, have a great day!
(I don't know why people are interested in this, but they seem to be:)
