Marlene Rafferty, Brick NJ mlpr2@comcast.net Well, I'm not from Dexter or ME at all, but I sure do love (and GREATLY MISS) the Dexter Shoes that I can no longer purchase. The alternate brands are not alternate at all...they do not compare in value and durability to these. I'm sorry to see that the Dexter Shoe Co. closed down and sold to Payless. I've been buying Dexter Shoes for 15 years now. I don't know what I'm going to do, since my final pair should be "retired" to the trash can. Can anyone give me a lead on where I can purchase Dexter's shoe leftovers? PS: My son and his family live in N. Anson, so I guess I can say that I am connected to ME anyway. We travel up to them at least a dozen times a year. Thanks for your time and hi to all of you. - Wednesday, April 23, 2008 Jeremy Patterson swaine777@yahoo.com Hi all, I was just wondering if there's a class of '93 - 15 year reunion in the works? Lori, any ideas? :o) I'm still in China so I probably won't make it but I'd still like to see it happen. God bless all of you in the class of '93 and also the rest of the DRHS alumni. - Monday, April 14, 2008 Brian Liston bliston@theworld.com I am trying to reconnect with an old friend who lives up there in Dexter. If Bob Jusczak should read this, please drop me an email at liston@progress.com or bliston@theworld.com Thanks. -Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Robert Neal bob_neal@yahoo.com Bob "the beggar" Neal - class of'55 asking for something. A photo or photos of the class of '57. I had a few friends and acquaintances and could not be at the Alumni Assoc. lunch. If some kind hearted soul has a computer and a scanner, I would much appreciate some photos. Great site; I don't visit the area often but I do visit the site. I wonder why more people aren't using it. -Tuesday, February 05, 2008 M Hagan hoganhagan2000@yahoo.com Houlton, ME Does anyone have a recipe from Wassookeag School Camp from a Yankee magazine article that was published several years ago? It is called the Wassookeag Special, a dessert recipe by "Auntie" Elsie Sharp who was the cook. This is one of my kids favorites and I have lost the page of the article that has the recipe! - Thursday, January 31, 2008 Lisa Shuman The site looks good. It's nice to see what's up with good ole Dexter. - Thursday, September 13, 2007 Beth Martin winterchild003@adelphia.net Hello Judy: I am Beth Martin from Canaan, and have in my possession handwritten notes written in 1955 from one Ruby Morris Goven, who, at the Dexter Centennial, gave a 'reading' about her adventure at a home owned by the Smarts...she speaks of Frank Smart, Ora, Aunt Dell, Sadie. She is laterally in our extended family and these notes are precious...but...we cannot find any information on her birth, death, or even her existence! Just wondering if her name rings a bell with anyone in Dexter...we don't even know who she was...but do know that her maiden name was Morris...the same name as my ggrandfather. Who also spent years up in the woods of Greenville...logging. Have shopped in Dexter with my daughter, who lives in St. Albans (these many years after Ruby made her presence known) and love the way the town goes uphill, visible from some distance... And such IS Maine! Beth - Wednesday, September 05, 2007 Bob Neal, class of '55 bob_neal@yahoo.com When the 50 year groups get together, there are usually group pictures taken. I couldn't make to Dexter this year. I would NEVER ask anybody to send me a picture of a group for nothibg...until now. Anybody got a picture of the "57 class and scanner and inet service? It's easy to do and I would appreciate it. I had some good friends in that class and would like to see if they showed up at the reunion. - Monday, August 27, 2007 Anne Ellis Poulin-DHS Class of 1957 aepouL2@peoplepc.com Was up to Dexter, ME for 50^th class reunion, held on 8/10/07 at the Johnson Lodge on Puffer’s Pond. Wow! Wow! Thanks, Beverly Goldstone. Our hosts were _exceeding hospitable_ considering our late hour change of plans due to unforeseen circumstances. We all had a great time figuring out who as who, where from & doing what. Six of our class with some spouses attended the Alumni dinner at noon on Saturday, 8/11/07 at Dexter Regional High School Cafeteria [parking in the rear, folks]. We did vote to move NEXT years Alumni Dinner to the SAME weekend as the Wild West Days hoping to increase the attendance. Time will tell but seems a logical move. - Wednesday, August 15, 2007 Jenny Ferguson - Belfast jenantique@gwi.net Hello.. has anyone heard of the Chestnut Hill Farm House? Owned by A. D. Sturtevant around 1890 perhaps. Appreciate any information. - Monday, August 13, 2007 Lynda Hartford - Patterson jelyn_10691@yahoo.com Hi everyone! I would love to hear from old friends and new ones. I have a new e-mail address. jelyn_10691@yahoo.com. We still live in Lamoine and still miss Dexter! - Wednesday, July 11, 2007 Judith Engstrom Edgerly This is for my father, Edward Lewis Engstrom, who was born and raised in Dexter Maine. Dad was born May 5th 1916 to Agustus and Virgie Engstrom. Lived there his whole life until marring mom in 1939 and moved to the Marshall farm in Dover-Foxcroft. Dad absolutely loved Dexter and spent lots of time there, at the lake side resturant and the many stores on Main Street. He often had his nurse and care taker drive him around the back roads of Dexter in his later years, and had a wonderful time locating places he used to go to as a young man. - Monday, June 18, 2007 Lori (Fern) Koban I am starting the process of organizing a 15 year reunion for DRHS's Class of 1993, which will take place in Summer 08. If you were in this class or know of someone in this class, please email me updated contact information. I look forward to the reunion! - Tuesday, May 29, 2007 Jim Friel, Smyrna, DE I have just returned from a visit to your fair town and Dover-Foxcroft. I had not been in the area in 20 years or so. This time, in conjunction with requirements of obtaining a Commercial pilots license I made use of the requirement to make a cross country trip of 300 miles or more and extended it another 125 miles to visit my good friends in Garland and Dover/Foxcroft. I flew into your fine little airport and was really tickled to see one of the old DEXTER shoe logo signs on the tiny Airport terminal building. I did meet one airport employee on arrival and he was very helpful. I departed the next day for my long return flight to Coatesville PA. In all my time in the Dexter area was positive and I hope to be back soon. - Monday, April 30, 2007 Ed and Barb Jackson edsbarbi@comcast.nett My husband and I are driving from Puyallup Washington and will be visiting family members of my husbands side, that he has never met before. I've never been to Maine and we are both looking forward to seeing your beautiful State and staying for a few days. We will be there around May 1, 2007. - Monday, April 02, 2007 Kim (Williams) Middleton, NJ kimmay117@verizon.net Just wanted to sign in & say hello to anyone from the class of 1984! I'm a homeschooling mom and freelance artist living in South Jersey with my husband, 5 children, and 2 step-children. I'd love to hear from my old classmates! - Tuesday, February 20, 2007 B. Joanne Mountain Dews, Owosso, MI bjdews@michonline.net Class of '51.

Some of us will be staying with Daughter, Michelle [Mimi] Poulin Bioski on Lakeview Ave. We will be visinting family but hope to see some old classmates & friends. - Saturday, November 11, 2006 Tonya A. Davis sales@littletreasurebarn.com Hello Dexter Maine! I would love to find some old classmates that would have graduated from Dexter in 1991. My name is Tonya A. Davis I grew up in the Dexter and Ripley area. I especially would like to locate a special old friend Ryan Miller, if anyone knows how I may get in contact with him I would love to catch up. I now live in Oregon and own two successful businesses. One a Web Design firm, NETRIX www.netrixllc.net and the other a Home Decor online store Little Treasure Barn www.littletreasurebarn.com.

I don't live too far from Dexter now, but I rarely visit. I live in Detroit, Maine (not far from Newport) with my husband, Larry Seymour, our daughter, Emily, and my two boys, Cody and Ethan. I also have a step daughter, Alyson, who lives with her mom. Just wanted to say hi to all my friends from Dexter. Hope all is well! - Wednesday, October 25, 2006 Steve stevecarol@cybertails.com Hello, Anyone remember the Upton's on Forest Street? - Wednesday, October 11, 2006 Suzanne Conway GodsGraceIsEnough@msn.com I would like to say a big, "THANK YOU", to all that extended sunshine and happiness to my Dad, Vincent Cangelosi, while he lived there, in Dexter. He went to be with the Lord on 7/28. He enjoyed visiting with the people at the laundromat, and most of all the Post Office personnel. Also, I would like to thank the Baptist church there that would give him food. Thank you, to the friends he had there. This is from his daughter in Arizona. If you knew him, please e-mail me at: GodsGraceIsEnough@msn.com .Also, I'm looking for my brother, Vincent Jr. My dad really enjoyed the beauty of Maine, the snow and cold is a different story. Thank you. - Monday, September 18, 2006 Tiffany Ryder I am wondering if the Jim Lyman listed on this webpage is the same who I knew at UNH in Durham. - Wednesday, September 06, 2006 Brandy Libby Hello, my name is Brandy Libby. I would like to plan a trip back to Dexter. My Parents & Grandparents came from ME. My Maternal Grandparents lived in Dexter, ME, Mr. Paul LaPrice & Mrs. Blanche LaPrice. I visited Dexter once as a toddler & once as a 13 yr. old girl. I remember the beauty that surrounded me. I remember driving near Moosehead Lake and seeing a darn moose swimming across the lake. I remember stopping for lobster sandwiches, and picking berries from a field. The quant streets of Dexter. When I was there last in about 1985 there was only one street light, and a mail order Sears, and a dime store. I would love to purchase their old home. I also plan on visiting my grandparents graves. Paul & Blanche LaPrice were the most loving, caring grandparents. One day I will receive the oportunity to do so. - Tuesday, September 05, 2006 Bob Briggs bnjbriggs@juno.com Bucksport, MaineUSA The story on Channel 2 recently about the Dexter Primary and Middle School being replaced brought back a lot of memories. I spent 6 years there when it was a combined Junior and Senior High School, graduating in 1965. I have many fond memories of Mrs. Crocker, Hammond, Slater, and Mr. Vickery, Clark, Blagdon, Shea, Rowe, Ross, Bodwell, Cushman, Hosapple, etc. I also had the priviledge of coming back to the same building my senior year at Farmington to Student Teach. At that time I taught with Miss Ducharm, as well as Charlie Bachelder, John Parola and Chib Clukey was the Principal. Teaching in my former high school was quite an experience. Of course, we will always remember how cold it was in the winter. I wonder what will be done with it after a new school will be built? Also, has anybody thought of how long a bus ride the kids will have from Garland and Exeter? - Thursday, July 20, 2006 John Kramer john.kramer@kunsan.af.mil Billings, MontanaUSA Hello to anyone reading this… I am planning a trip to Maine as soon as the airfares drop back to sanity. It’s been a long time since I was last there. It was when I was on my way to Iraq and our plane broke in Bangor. This time I am writing you from Kunsan A.F.B., South Korea. I will be leaving sometime around the end of July but have a short stay at home and then on to southern California for more duty. I would like to get there by fall foliage time. Take care and we’ll see you soon. cosmof16@msn.com - Thursday, June 22, 2006 Valerie Shurman Silverman VRSDEXTER@aol.com Would love to hear of anyone from the class of '66 who plans to be around in July... nothing seems to be planned for our 40th. - Monday, June 19, 2006 John and Maureen Bissell jpbissell2@icehouse.net Coeur d'Alene, Idaho You have a perfect New England Maine town. Sure would like to live there in our soon to come retirement years. - Monday, April 24, 2006 Barry Dearborn Hi all. For Karen W. (and all who stumble onto Dexter) - Dexter was named after Samuel Dexter, famous lawyer and politician, who served variously in three national cabinet posts and probably never saw the town that bears his name. Dexter graduated from Harvard in 1781, elected Federalist representative of Middlesex County in Mass. in the third Congress in 1792. Served in the US senate from 1799, until appointed Secretary of War on May 13, 1800 under President John Adams. In December of that year he was appointed Secy of the Treasury and served until 1801. Father of five children, Dexter, whose residence at the time was Roxbury, Ma., died of scarltet fever in Athens, NY. He died in 1816, the same year our little community was incorporated. This information, which can be verified on the internet, was published in the Dexter Maine 150th Anniversary booklet published by that greatest of newspapers - The Eastern Gazette - Friday, March 24, 2006 Karen Walling Judy Wilbur Craig |
