Remember the anticipation of the end of the school year as we made plans for summer break? What was your favorite spring or summer spot when you were at UMaine? Share your memories with us, and I’ll post it in the next column.

Andrew S. Robinson was re-elected as District Attorney in Prosecutorial District Three (Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford counties), a position he was first elected to in 2014.

In December, Mark Sweeney was inducted into the Cape Cod Baseball League Hall of Fame, class of 2018. Mark had a 14-year Major League Baseball career and ranks second all-time in MLB history with 175 career pinch hits. He led the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox to back-to-back titles in 1989 and 1990, earning Cape Cod Playoff MVP honors in 1989.
Were you following the outstanding season of UMaine football last fall? It was a real treat for those of us living far from Maine to be able to watch our Black Bears on national television (ESPN2). They made it to the Final 4 but lost in the FSC semi-finals, just one game short of the national championship.
M-A-I-N-E, Gooo BLUE!
