I am still living in Bangor and working at Rudman & Winchell as a paralegal. My son, Matthew, is 13 (almost 14) and will go to Bangor High School in the fall and play freshmen football. I can’t believe I am a Bangor Ram’s parent, but I guess stranger things have happened. My son, Jordan, is 10 and plays hockey for Bangor Youth Hockey and baseball for Bangor West Little League. My husband, Kevin, coaches his team and I work the concessions at the fields. We have many friends from Houlton that live in the area and that we get together with often.

Our condolences to Karen Mailman Gilpin and the entire Mailman family for the recent loss of her sister, Ann who died as a result of a car accident.

Our condolences also to John Bulley who lost his brother, Alan, as a result of a car accident in Houlton.
