Editor,

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. ~Mother Teresa (Agnes Gonxha Bojarhiu)

Not only is that little pencil expressing love for their fellow man it also helps form a list of necessary food items that their fellow man may need in order to walk that extra mile. And if you look closely at the embossed print on the side of that pencil you will find names like; Lonna Gay, J King, Ronald & Joyce Bissell, Ron & Rachel Bolduc, Doris & Joseph Buonomo, Kenneth & Heidi Byrd, Burnadette Coulombe, Cecilia Dibella, Joy Elsner, Robert Gay, Margaret Grant & Brenda Robbins, Judith & Charles Hayward, Ann Marie Kenney, Grace Lashua, Trish Macomber, James & Susan Marcotte, Kevin Nowak, Karin Olson, Marian Orr, Lorraine Perron & Charlene Soucy, Clifford & Joyce Purvis, Lucille Reed & Donna Gordon, Richard Senay, Rita Shaw, Richard & Veronica Sheehan, Evie & Merle Steva, Jennifer Strickland

As we symbolically stand with heads bowed to honor and remember all our fellow citizens effected by fire, weather or other hardships on their roads.

By the concern shown for last month’s 541 people that formed the 200 families we helped as they were able to walk another smoother, straighter mile on the road that they travel. To all those mentioned here, those that wish to remain anonymous, by standing in the shadows and on behalf of the over fifty volunteers acting in your stead, thank you. May all of you and your families, always find good health, sunshine and God’s blessings.
