a woman whom I've never met & whom I haven't heard from up until November,
2002. It all began in July, 1970 when my father, mother and I took a N.Y.
Daily News boat trip to pick up newsprint. We departed from New York City
going to Bay Comeau, Canada & the trip took 3 days for us to get there.
Prior to leaving, I typted out 3 letters, all identical, with my name,
address, where we departed from, where we were going, numbered each letter
1, 2, & 3 asking that if anyone found that bottle (with my note inside)
to please contact me. I threw one bottle out into the Atlantic each day.

Edith LeBlanc (her childhood name) and I wrote back & forth for 3 years
as penpals until I graduated from high school. I went to college and Edith

Take the "Cat" from Bar Harbor Maine on friday mornings, leave Yarmouth

"Veg out" as my wife likes to call it, enjoy Yarmouth and it's people.

musuems, just an outstanding place to kick back and relax!!!!

Date: 8/22/2003 Name: Dorothy Sloane Location: Rochester, New York USA E-Mail: dorosloane@frontiernet.net Comments: Three years ago my husband and I took the CAT over to Yarmouth
for a vacation. On the day we were to leave to come home, my husband
had a heart attack. He suffered very little damage to his heart and
was feeling well, but had to stay in the hospital for one week in Yarmouth.
I stayed in our hotel. I had plenty of time to explore the Yarmouth
area and found it beautiful. I felt that I was in another world, calmer
and more down to earth than where I live. I loved it. I found the
people very friendly and helpful to me. One experience I will never
forget is a day I spent alone at Cape Forchu. I took many pictures
of the lighthouse and the rocks (the lighthouse was under construction).
The area was very calming and "therapeutic" as I was worried about my husband
and a little lonely staying in a hotel. When we arrived home I couldn't
wait to get my black and white film developed. I was upset when the
processor ruined the film and I had no pictures to remind me of this special
place. I know that someday we will come back, but I would like to
find a reminder such as a model lighthouse, some pictures, etc. If
you could e-mail me with a site that I could order something, or an address
of the lighthouse gift shop I would appreciate it.
Webmaster Comment: I have taken pictures
of that area over the summer and hope to get them up within the next few
weeks..
