Ocean Point Column Nov.12


Ocean Point Column
November 12,2015
By Maryellen Bertrand

In honor of Veterans Day I would like to begin this column by thanking all Veterans who have served or are currently serving our country here and abroad; your dedication and sacrifice are greatly appreciated by all of us. Please take a moment this week to personally thank a Veteran for their service.

If you have not had the opportunity to view Hilary Boynton’s You Tube video take a moment to do so. It is a wonderful 5-minute video that Hilary has orchestrated to promote her new venture called Yum Yum. In last week’s column I mentioned her project consisting of a series of cooking shows that she hopes will go viral.  She needs your support to accomplish this so please consider supporting her.

Congratulations to Kevin Rush who recently participated in the Massachusetts State Middle School Cross Country Invitational. Kevin placed 45 out of 200+ runners.

Holly Horner recently notified me of the passing of former Ocean Pointer, Tish Kitchel Reed. Tish died October 14 in Washington D.C. at the age of 87. Tish was a native of Waterville, Maine and spent many summers at Ocean Point in what is currently the Eakin cottage. She and Holly’s Aunt Dossie worked together in London for the CIA. Tish had just completed her Autobiography prior to her death titled “Moving Forward Looking Back, Journey of a Small Town Girl”, our sincerest condolences to Tish’s children and grandchildren.

There is a very small supply of Ocean Point calendars left for purchase. Please see details on the blog or contact Sue Goodrich directly.

Have a great week!
