Michael and Nancy (Figgins) Henderek along with their family have been here vacationing and enjoying Ocean Point and daily swimming at Grimes Cove. It appears that the family has their own version of the January 1 Polar Plunge. Their tradition began many years ago and contues today. Although they are not swimming in the frigid waters of January it can often be a challenge to swim even in the summer months. At the end of the season they hold an award ceremony complete with prizes; awards are presented to those who complete the challenge which consists of a seaweed medallion. What a special tradition!

Caroline Kern recently graduated Cum Laude from Bates College with a degree in Psychology. Caroline was awarded the Richard V. Wagner Award for her outstanding thesis on peace, understanding, conflict, social justice or individual well-being. Caroline is now serving as a member of the Community Health Core in Lowell, Ma. Congratulations to Caroline and her parents Sue and Dave Kern.

Marilyn and Jack Heise are close to moving into their new home. Here to help in that effort were her friends Jan and Dave Gerber, who happen to be in the remodeling business and offered some constructive suggestions in completing the project. Their target date for occupancy is October 1.

I will have additional news regarding the Labor Day weekend in the next column.
Have a great week!
