  • Rebecca Fox Carr died peacefully on Sunday morning, Oct. 24, 2004 at Coastal Manor in Yarmouth. The daughter of Pamela and Frank Fox, she was born on May 29, 1920 in St. Stephens, New Brunswick, Canada, and raised in Calais, Maine. She attended Calais Academy, Lancaster Academy in Massachusetts, and Atlantic Union College in New York. During the war years, she made her home in Portland where she met and married William S. Car in 1945. The couple and their two sons moved to Yarmouth in the 1950s. Rebecca Carr was always active in community service. She taught Sunday School at State Street Church with her husband and over the years served on the board of YWCA, Yarmouth Farm and Garden, and the Yarmouth Village Improvement Society. Mrs. Carr was a founder of the Yarmouth Dollars for Scholars program and was recognized with the Distinguished Service Award from the Yarmouth JayCees in 1964. She was a lifelong Democrat who served on the gubernatorial campaigns of Edmund Muskie and Kenneth Curtis. She was also an active participant in the League of Women Voters. Most recently she was active in the Yarmouth Fortnightly Club. Mrs. Carr was recognized in her community as an exceptional cook and gardener. She was featured in the Maine Sunday Telegram with an article on her Christmas cookies and an article on her hybrid lilacs.  After her sons completed high school, Mrs. Carr began work in the book department at Loring, Short and Harmon. She took special pride in serving her customers who fondly knew her as the 'book lady' of Portland. She later worked for several years at Knudsen's Studio Shop in Falmouth. Mrs. Carr also had a lifelong passion for travel, which she pursued with her dear friend Barbara Landry. The women went abroad several times
    together enjoying trips to England, France, Italy, Israel and Mexico, as well as to California. Rebecca Carr was predeceased by her husband in 2002. She is survived by two sons, Douglas S. Carr and his wife Deidre of Yarmouth, and William D. Carr of Yarmouth; granddaughters, Ariel Carr Moyer of Alexandria, Va., Hilary Carr of Madrid, Spain, and Lauren Carr of Yarmouth; a brother, Lloyd Fox of Lewiston; and her close friends, sister-in-law Lisa Fox of Calais and cousin, Pamela Tathwell of Glendale, Calif.

  • Arthur Ernest Garland, 81, beloved husband of Edith (Olson) Garland, died peacefully Sunday, May 22, 2005, at his home in Robbinston. Arthur "Art" was born Sept. 17, 1923, at his grandparents' home in Oak Hill, N.B., Canada, to Ernest and Hilda (Rogers) Garland. Art was educated at Calais Academy, Calais and Ricker College in Houlton. With the exception of two years employment with Sears & Morbarck, Art was employed with Eastern Pulpwood (Domtar) from 1941 until his retirement in 1987. He joined the Navy at the outbreak of World War II and became one of the very first to be what is now known as a Navy Seal. He remained in this aspect for the first year. He went on to fly submarine patrol in the Caribbean on Southern Atlantic and also taught gunnery instruction and bomb disposal. Art was a lifelong member of the American Legion VFW. In addition to these accomplishments, he was a licensed professional forester and scalar, a member of the National Trappers Association and the Maine Lobster Association. Art enjoyed spending his time hunting, fishing and trapping, between his two camps, Enoch Brook and Beaver Lake. In the summers, he spent his time lobster fishing and gardening at Robbinston. In Art's younger years he spent several years as a scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts in Calais. Art met his wife, Edith in Washington, D.C. during the war. He was especially proud of marrying his "bride" (as he lovingly referred to her) in 1946 at the wedding chapel at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. The couple made their home on South Street in Calais, until retiring to Robbinston in 1987. Art would lend a listening ear to his grandchildren and enjoyed passing his love of nature to anyone who was around. Many people will fondly remember Art always being accompanied by a dog, his last one named, Enoch, and his pipe. Art is survived by his beloved wife of 59 years, Edith; his son, Peter Erik and his wife, Joyce; daughter, Rebecca Olson and her husband, Bob; grandchildren, Dana, Erika, Tamara, Kari Anne, Tiffany, Peter, Jeremiah, Kristina and Shannon; four great-grandchildren, Tyler, Anthony, Marquis and Elijah. He is also survived by an aunt, Eleanor Haley; and a cousin, Nelson Haley of Oak Hill, N.B., Canada. He will be sadly missed. At the request of the deceased, there will be no visiting hours. A service for family and friends will be announced at a later date. Donations in Art's memory may be made to Community Health and Counseling, P.O. Box 425, Bangor, ME 04402-0425. The family is very appreciative of the personal care extended to Art by Dr. McHugh, Sally Madsen and Heidi Williams, during the last few months of his illness.

  • Tami (Northcutt) Clark,  Alexander, Maine. 1976-1983 Calais Elem-Middle School. I love the past in our area. Viewing ole photos can be very exciting.
    Sharing some of my favorite pictures at my restaurant has been very rewarding for me. It also gets others sharing stories they recall from the pictures or post cards I have. I believe my customers enjoy them as much as I do. Nook & Cranny Restaurant. stevetami@midmaine.com

  • Mark Osborne, Ellsworth ME. Hi! I'm not a "real" alumnus, cause I had to move away from Calais after my sophomore year. But I've got enough dirt on most of you that you'd better not contest my eligibility! My fondest memories of CMHS are of the characters I went to school with, followed closely by playing guitar and singing in various rock bands, most notably The East Coast. Along with me, Ken Kelley played drums ( I see him often, and a couple of weeks ago we had lunch together. If you're ever in this area, call me. We've got some awesome seafood restaurants in these here parts.) Dale Tudor was an earlier member who is now a prominent insurance agent in the Bangor area. Ernie Scholl played bass and drove the hearse that transported our equipment. Jack "Bo Diddley" Emack played organ, and Dr. Larry Linnell (who I think lives in Pennsylvania now) played rhythm guitar. You may have attended one of our twice-weekly dances, first at the Academy Street Gym, then at the Calais Armory. I got a surprise visit today [7/30/99] from Don Clark ('71) who now lives and works in Boston and is one of the most sought-after soundmen on the Northeast concert circuit. I've recently exchanged e-mails with Kathy Morrison White and Ken Strout. After The Beatles hit in '64, Ken and I learned to play guitar together because we realized that by doing so, the girls would stop spitting on us. Ken is now (and I say this with admiration) a big shot with Maine Central Railroad, although he would never give himself the credit. Kathy refuses to tell me much about her personal life, except to say that Ricky Martin and Tom Cruise keep calling her for dates, but she refuses, because she's happily married. As for me, I live in Ellsworth with my hot-ticket wife Marisa and daughters Katie (10) and Becky (6). To pay the bills, I own three radio stations in the Bangor area: Kiss 94.5, Lucky 99, and 104.7 The Bear. So let's exchange CMHS war stories! And by the way, did Mr. Lunt look like Drew Carey, or what?! marosborne@yahoo.com
