Hopefully, everyone enjoyed the three-day weekend but did not forget that Monday was Memorial Day, a federal holiday established originally to remember and honor all those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces throughout the history of our great country.
A big thank you goes out to Lance Legere, Gorham High School alumni, for assisting me in reporting on the results of last week's Gorham High baseball games. It was much appreciated, for sure.
