Ocean Point Column
March 20
By Maryellen Bertrand
After a 2-week hiatus it is certainly nice to
be able to report some news. I am, as I am sure that you all are, counting the
days not only until spring but returning to the Point as well. Let’s hope the spring
and summer months are a little more cooperative than winter has been.
The weather has certainly not been a deterrent
for Jean and John Webster as they recently travelled to Deer Isle for a belated
Christmas dinner with Susan Webster and Stu Kestenbaum. Also joining them were
Arthur Webster and June and Bob Rose. They enjoyed the traditional Italian
dishes however; the dessert was a summertime favorite, blueberry buckle. Now that
certainly makes you think ahead to summer!
Donald and Francesca Demers along with their
daughters Deanna and Marina recently visited Key West for some warmth and
relaxation and had a wonderful time with friends from Boothbay. Deanna flew
from Manhattan where she is currently working at Barlis Wedlick Architectural
Firm in New York. Deanna recently graduated from the Pratt Institute in
Brooklyn and younger sister Marina will graduate from high school this year.
Congratulations to both girls.
Donald is busy preparing for another one-man
show of seascapes at the J.Russell Janishian Gallery in Fairfield, Ct. in June.
I’m sure it will be just as wonderful as his recent show in Boston.
The Demers Family will actually be celebrating
3 high school graduations this year. Along with Marina, Darrell and Sharon’s
twins, Nate and Sarah will also graduate. Congratulations to them as well.
Judy Dawson visited for a few days with Holly
and Larry Hornor last week and they got together with Tish and Tom McGonegal.
They all had a wonderful evening chatting about Ocean Point, a nice way to take
your mind off present weather conditions!
The Bertrand/Rush family will gather soon for
their annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration of corned beef and cabbage. Happy
St. Patrick’s Day to those who celebrate, it’s always a fun and upbeat
occasion.
Finally our sincerest condolences to John David
and Kelly Hankinson and family on the death of Kelly’s father, Frank Parker of
Middletown, Springs, Vt. and also on the passing of John David’s stepmother,
Ginny McMillan of Boothbay. We also extend our heart-felt condolences to Pat
Farrin and his family on the recent death of Pat’s sister, Ruth. You are all in
our thoughts at this very difficult time.
Happy Daylight Savings Time to all. Thanks for
your news and have a great week.
