Happy summer to all Ocean Pointers! Activity here at the
Point has picked up considerably in the past week with many boats being placed
on their mooring and a noticeable increase in both car and foot traffic. The
float at Grimes has been put in place ready for the many beachgoers.
It is exciting to see the return of old friends to the Point
and to meet some new ones.
Please help me welcome newcomers the Daley Family who
recently purchased the Stover/Ryder cottage. The Daly’s winter in Venice
Florida but are originally from the Poconos area of Pennsylvania. They happily
shared how their purchase of the cottage occurred; they were visiting friends
in the area for the first time last summer and fell in love with Ocean Point,
imagine that!
On one of my many morning walks I had an opportunity to chat
with Corrine McIntyre who happened to be painting with her artist group at 2
trees (I’m having a bit of difficulty referring to it as 2; it will always be 3
trees to me). Corrine had a wonderful winter as she thoroughly embraces every
season at Ocean Point.
Congratulations to Liam Dun who recently celebrated his high
school graduation and will attend Bates College in the fall. Liam is the son of
Alec and Kelly Dun and grandson of Jim and Doreen Dun.
There is much happiness in the Fischer Family as grandmother
Joan celebrates the birth of 2 new granddaughters. Congratulations to daughter
Annie and her husband Matt on the birth of baby daughter Shaylor May and to
Joan’s son Jake and his wife Leah on the birth of their baby daughter
Emmanuelle Joy. Jake and Leah will be here over the 4th of July; we
can’t wait to meet baby “Elle”.

Wednesday June 26th, if you have not met Andy and Nancy please stop
