Sunny Sunday!

It was a soggy Saturday, but now the sky's blue and it's 56 degrees F., at 5:50 Sunday morning.
The AccuWeather forecast gives us a variety of conditions from which to choose -- all-in-all, better than we'd originally thought -- and with a predicted "high" of only 79 degrees, we should be quite happy!

In baseball, Boston lost to Seattle 2 - 5 and the Yankees won over Toronto 5 - 4, lifting them back up to a 2.5 GB second spot.

Thanks to Linda Bigelow Harer of Seattle, Washington, the Historical Society is two never-before-seen photographs richer! They were both taken in the early 1900's. Can you identify the building? It was the home of her great-grandfather, Horace P. Bigelow - a man of considerableimportance in Waterville throughout its "golden years."
(The answer will follow!)


And from Colleen Hughes Huggins comes this photograph of the Edwards family homestead, which is no longer standing. It was located, we believe, just to the East of the present driveway to the Sanger mansion - which the McLanes call "Sanger Hill" - and may explain the presence of a row of ancient maple trees and at least one lilac bush that still blooms, each Spring.
