"As many of you know, I will be writing the column for the
Ocean Point Community and I am excited to do so. I thought I would begin right
after the holiday however I decided to begin as I have lots of news to report.
First let me thank you all for your emails, kind words of encouragement and
support, I am extremely grateful. I would also like to thank Pat Waldman for
her many years of service to our community and to keeping us all informed of
activities here at the Point.
Despite what the calendar may say, summer weather lingers
and last Saturday was no exception, It was what my father use to refer to as” a
real Ocean Point day” There are still many Ocean Pointers here enjoying the
beautiful weather, It was great to see long time Ocean Pointer Betsy (Pike)
O’Keefe and her daughter Melissa and Jeanne Pond is here and Krista Irmischer
was seen on her roller blades racing around the Point I’m
sure that the holiday weekend will find lots of Ocean Pointers returning for
one last visit so I hope to see as many of you as possible.
It will also be the last weekend for the Ocean Point Inn,
thank you Tony Krason and staff for another great season, Tony held his charity
golf tournament over the weekend and I understand it was a huge success. Many
OP golfers were in attendance: Bill, Gerry, Dan and Joe Shea as well as Will
Bertrand Lanny Whitehouse, Link Brown Eric Marden and Joe Clark to name just a
few. I know I speak for the OP golf community as well as many other Ocean
Pointers who are so thankful to Paul Columbe for all of the wonderful changes
that have been made to the golf course with many more to come.
Thanks as well to Jim
and Kathy Dunklee for another season at the OP store. Of course we are all
hoping for another season next summer but we wish you both well in whatever
your future plans may hold, For those of you who are lucky enough to be staying
indefinitely, the EB General store will remain open for the winter thanks to
Liz and her staff so make sure you stop in to enjoy the great food.
Marilyn Heise would like you all to know that she has 4
extra large OP sweatshirts (marigold) for sale and the price has been reduced.
Please contact her if you wish to purchase one. You can reach Marilyn at jandmheise@gmail.com or at 633-5520.
Dave Mchold reports that he and Pat have just listed their
Maryland home for sale and will spend a good amount of time in Maine while decisions are
made. Newlyweds China and Tom are in Maryland, Heather just returned to Kentucky
after 2 years in England, Megan is in Baltimore with a new baby and Mattie is
in Northampton Ma with fiancé, Beth. Joan Fischer also reports that Annie is happy
living in Denver and Jake in NY.
Congratulations to Jim and Judie Boyd on the birth of their
new granddaughter, Audrey Marie Blanchette and to her parents Cait and Chad.
If you are packing up to leave for the season and have
canned goods left over, please remember the Food Pantry.
Have a great week, enjoy the weather."
