Deborah Finch Duke, Boothbay Harbor, ME. I was thrilled to hear about the website last weekend.... Just recently returned to the USA (from Canada) after a 24 year absence...and would LOVE to hear from friends of years past and share stories. debbieduke@clinic.net  

Heidi Hamilton Bradford, Oak Bay NB. Hi. bh@nb.sympatico.ca  

P. J. Hollingdale: It's been almost 5 years since I sang "Hail to CMHS" into Linda Sherlock's cleavage (that's where she was holding the microphone) at our 20th year reunion. I figure most of my and other class of 75'ers indiscretions that night have been forgotten or forgiven. Colson Fales and I have been working hard to plan a 25th reunion this coming summer. Would love to hear from any 75'ers that we've missed. pjhollingdale@primus.ca

Bill King, Chula Vista, California. Just an update for new e-mail and with what's been happening. I would have graduated with the class of 75 but was kidnapped by my parents and relocated in Calif. My wife Dianne is a home grown Calif. girl with no desire to experience the winters in Maine. We have been married for 24 years and have a 15 year old daughter Christine. I now know the reason for the gray hair. She has a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and was the Junior National Champion for 2002. I work civil service for the Navy as Project Manager for the Supervisor of Shipbuilding assigned with 2 of the newest DDG's. Its been a good career giving me several around the world trips visiting some very interesting countries and experiencing incredible cultures. Would enjoy revamping some old friendships and look forward to some e-mails. KingWS@supship.navy.mil
