Last column I gave you details of today's meeting of the Edgecomb Historical Society, with a special presentation by Newcastle Historical Society of the group’s wonderful Baker/Cochran Wedding Quilt.

The meeting is at 2 p.m. this afternoon, in the vestry, or as the Congregationalists like to call it, the Fellowship Hall, of the Edgecomb Congregational Church, at the corner (almost) of Cross Point Road and Eddy Road.

Do come, and if you have genealogical lore of your own, whether quilt related or not, please share it with us all. Your ancestors knew our ancestors, were maybe related to them, all the way back to Adam and Eve, or the archaic Lucy, for all we know.

From the Edgecomb Eddy School newsletter: “Congratulations to Dwight Lucas and Hunter Crocker, both 6th graders at EES, and members of the Boothbay Region Youth Football League. They competed against Rockland, beating them 20-0, making the Boothbay team the Central Maine Youth Football League Champions! Boothbay also happens to be the first undefeated team (9-0) to go through the BRYFL!"

Bob Rose was one of the exhibitors at the second annual Plein Aire Painters of Maine (PAPME) show, which is running at the Boothbay Region Art Foundation through November 24. The Art Foundation's physical address is 1 Townsend Avenue, in Boothbay Harbor, Mondays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Five teachers from the Center for Teaching and Learning will be speaking at the 2013 annual convention of the National Council of Teachers of English, in Boston. Helene Coffin, Ted DeMille and Glen Powers will present "New Approaches to Elementary Literacy," including the uses of poetry, non-fiction, and the reading roundtable for literary discussions.

Nancie Atwell and Anne Atwell-McLeod will describe how they use memoir writing for their older students. Reading about Lincoln Academy's traditional alumni basketball game sends me back to my youth.

I'd joined a group of girl friends to watch it, but after the alumni vs. varsity game was over, young Bruce Cameron strolled over and offered to take me home. Of course I accepted! And a good four years later, I accepted the engagement ring he slipped on my finger during the intermission of a performance of the Royal Danish Ballet in Philadelphia. And here we still are!
