WHAT WINTER?
This past winter could not be called a normal one for Maine.
After a snowy winter last year, mother nature seems to have
balanced things out....
Example: This Feb we had only 2" snow for the month!!....

SEBAGO LAKE FREE
Sebago's Main bay did not freeze this year. Another sign of the mild winter. In fact, some of the smaller bay, and coves did not have much ice either. ************************
IN MEMORY OF....

Sad news came in Mid February with the sudden death of Vera Fitch.

Vera and her late husband, Laurence operated "Fitch's General Store"
She was a wonderful lady. Everyone came to know and love Mrs. Fitch.
She was a daily customer at Four Seasons Variety in East Sebago..
"You have no idea how much we miss her" said a Four Season employee.
I know that "my family" will never forget Vera.!! God bless her and the Fitch Family.!!
