Ocean Point Column November 6



Ocean Point Column Nov.6
By Maryellen Bertrand
 
As I begin to write this week’s column I have just received sad news that Fred McIntyre has passed away. As many of you know Fred was the Superintendent of the East Boothbay Water District for many years before his retirement. After his retirement Fred spent his days working with pottery and produced many lovely pieces, Fred was a kind, gentle and talented man who loved his job and Ocean Point. Our condolences to his wife Corrine and to their children, stepchildren and grandchildren, a memorial service will be held in early June. at the Wilson Memorial Chapel.

I had a nice chat with Pat Waldman who is recovering from surgery and is looking forward to getting around a little easier and with a lot less pain; She reports that John is busy preparing for winter. I know that they both keep very busy with all of their outside interests and activities,

I have received several emails regarding the proposed construction of a cell tower on Ocean Point. I know that there are valid concerns on both sides of this issue so if you do have a concern; Brad Betts has suggested that you contact him. Brad has also posted the information on the OP blog as well as his contact information.

Earlier this fall, Diane Eakin and Pam Nolan hosted a birthday celebration for a few Ocean Point ladies celebrating a milestone. Belated Happy Birthday to Danielle Scruton, Leslie Whitehouse and Joyce Richter.

Great news, the Boston Red Sox have won the World Series.!!!! I’m sure I speak for all of OP Red Sox Nation (and there are many of us) when I say how thrilled and excited we are for the team. It was a long season and a great series.

Thanks to all who have sent news, keep it coming.
