Webmaster Comment : They were for people to enjoy espicially those away from home.  Read the comments .. Most people were very happy with this.  The concept must have caught on... Check out Google: Go to Boston, for example click on street view. Sorry you don't get the point.  But most people do.

Beautiful place but terrible childhood.  Best memories I guess would be a few good friends, Olivia Ross, Brenda Surette Fourgere and Clarke Paynter.  Lived in New York City many years and worked on Wall Street.  I now live between Atlanta and Florida managing my own rental properities.  Love the heat of the south.  Feel free to drop me a line, love to hear the latest news.  Oh yes, I do miss the AWESOME lobster, ha.

Comments: I remeber well being one of the first to sign the guest log book way back when it first began.. I have revisted it on many occaisions looking for familiar names, even found a few. I made other enteries just to keep my email address current. I have even gotten responses from old friends who recognized my name.
It is such a joy to here from someone you haven't seen in a really long time.
 I got to make a couple of trips home in the not too distant past. Even though things have changed to where I nearly didn't recognize it, YARMOUTH still is and will always be my home town. I get so home sick sometime I can't hardly deal with it.
 I have a few health issues I am dealing with. Just about the time it looks a little favorable as far as another trip home something else goes wrong. I will keep trying. I have to admit, although it'll probably curse me by doing so, I haven'y felt as good as I do right now for a long time. Guess I better get to making some very hopeful plans. Will keep you all,(at least the ones who read the guestbook) informed. Got to run. God bless all of my good friends and family up there and keep an eye out for me,
Sandy Christie

Love the site,made me a little homesick too!
I have so many fond memories of ballgames between Sandford and Overton. We would all climb in the back of whoever had room in their truck,sing songs coming and going and cheer for our team. 
Are there any teams still playing?

Does anyone there have any history of the Yarmouth Citizen's Band?
Still love outdoor band concerts!Keep up the good work...

E-Mail: achristi@cableone.net

Comments: I put in another short entry in a few weeks ago and was just now looking at some other entries and noticed I had my email address entered incorrectly. Not that there would be people standing in line to contact me so I thought I better get it corrected. So what you have now is correct. I shall reserve an hour each day to respond to  all the people who remember me and will take the time to drop me a line, even if you just want to cuss me out. It gets awful boring and lonesome being where you are pretty much house/wheelchair bound. I know there are some of you hiding out there, like the sweet little thing that used to take a walk with me when our band was taking a break at Maivellete (sp?). You really were a sweeheart!!
Maybe if I started making entries like that I might get a few more responses. Might give it a try.
Take care of the old home town for me, OK?

Comments: Hello everyone! My name is Chiara White (formerly Jacquard), my dad is Paul Jacquard, and I am coming to Yarmouth on September 19th/08. I am coming to see my aunt Viv. Was suppose to see my grama, Hilda,  but she passed away in June. I don't think I have been in Yarmouth since I was about 2. Trust me that's a long time ago. I am very excited. I am bringing my son Matt and his girlfriend Jenna. 32 days and counting. I am hoping to see alot of stuff and alot of relatives. I only have a week so it will be go,go,go. I want to find Wanda Haley. She is a cousin. I just met her in April, here in Red Deer and then 4 days later she moved back to Yarmouth. Anyway I am very excited to see Yarmouth and my family. You will probably be able to spot me easily, I will be the one with the camera around my neck, snapping pictures in every direction. Can't wait to get there. See you all soon.

E-Mail: achristi@cableone.net

Comments: Be careful not to add the "e" on the end of my last name in my email address. I won't get your email and that would be tragic for me.
I need a little help from some/one of my remaining friends in Yarmouth. I had a pretty good email address book and in the process of changing email services I lost pretty much all of the people who's address was in Yarmouth. Through diligence I have gotten them all back with one exception. It would mean so much to me if one of you know her and get in touch with her for me. Tell her I carelessly lost her email address and would love so much to hear from her again. Her name is Heather,and I don't know if her last name is still Green or if she married and has a different last name. We had corressponded back and forth a few times and the topic of if she was married never came up.
Would you plese get in touch with her and let her know that I would love to hear from her and that I am sorry I lost her address. It would mean a lot to me. Heather's father was a great man and a good friend to me when I needed some male influence in my life and I truely do not want to loose touch with the family.
As a side note, I go in the Hospital on the 18th of Sept for brain surgery, turns out the little bump on the outside of my head was a whole lot bigger and benign on the inside. Doctor's won't say too much to me about the possibilities of the results of the surgery. Chin up and put it in God's hands. He's taken pretty good care of me this far, I'm not going to give up the faith now. Sorry everybody, I did not mean to get off onto that subject, but since I did, could I bother you to whisper a little prayer for me. I do so badly want and need to come back home one more time.
From a longtime homesick Yarmouth boy,
Good luck and God bless each and every one of you abundantly,
Sandy Christie

Comments: I did not discover the mistake I made in my last posting,yesterday, until I had already sent it off. In fact it was my wife who pointed it out to me. With regards to the surgery I am going to have in Sept, it is to remove a "MALIGNANT" tumor.There has always been plenty of room in my head because my brain takes up so little space. I feel like such and idiot. But I guess when you have more stuff in your head than there is room for, I guess you should be able to get by with a mistake once in a while. Quite actually, it was abnormal behavior(more so than is normal for me even),that caused the suspicions which lead to the diagnosis.
Anyway, I love all of you and I am truely sorry for the mistake.
Would love to hear from some of you, before Sept 18th if you can manage to do that for me. You klnow I would do it for every one of you.
