Dear Jan,
Thanks so much for writing to me. I wwill look and see what I can do
for you, but in the meantime I can put you on to people who manage
the Winterport and Frankfort sites. I basically cover Searsport,
Northport and Montville, but will be more than happy to help if I
can. If you go to the MeGenWeb site and click on the counties you
will come to a place that will tell you who is doing what town. Just
click on Waldo Co. and then on lookup volunteers. In the meantime I
will do some hunting. Good luck!
Warmest regards,
Carol Mushero
