Harpswell Anchor

Two miles off the coast of Harpswell, in beautiful Casco Bay, lies Eagle Island, the summer home of Adm. Robert E. Peary, America's foremost Arctic explorer. This unique property is a Maine State Historic Site and a National Historic Landmark.

I'd like to thank the folks at the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust and Harpswell Recreation for the great job they did running this year's Harpswell Hiking Challenge. It was nice to see so many families out vying to complete the full eight-trail challenge or the modified four-trail challenge.

I want to thank everyone who voted in the June 14 Maine House District 99 Democratic primary. I am deeply moved by the expression of confidence from all of you.

Greetings! Having recently moved to town full time (summer resident since 1993) and being a musician and a recording and mixing engineer, I'd like to start to meet like-minded locals by offering free "small-scale" recording and mixing services.

I am inspired to write this letter by a column I read in The Times Record written by Susan Olcott: "Spring cleanup can protect coastal ecosystems," March 31.

As past members of the board of trustees of the Cundy's Harbor Library, we would like to express our sadness over the passing of one of the library's former librarians and directors, Samuel Schwartz.
