Chris and Olivia Smith, from Westbrook, were home for several days over the Christmas holiday. They stayed with Chris’s parents, Debbie and Vance Smith. While here they went to holiday family parties and enjoyed visiting with family and friends.
Ann White, of Bangor, was home in Easton for Christmas visiting with her husband, Pete, and children Loren, Kim, Darrell and Greg and their families.
Sara, Matt and Alyssa Tardona, of Pennsylvania, were home visiting with her mom, Sally, and stepdad, Bud Budreau. While here they visited with other family members and had a great time in The County.
Josh McMann, son of Steve and Stephanie Budreau of Easton and Toby McMann and Joanne Skidgel of Westfield, was home over the Christmas holiday. Josh is currently working in Manhattan, N.Y.
Derek, Ebony and Ramayah White were home for the holiday. Derek is serving his country in the Army. We are so proud of all of our young men in the armed forces. Thank you for all you do. While home the Odd Fellow’s Hall was rented and everyone that wanted to see Derek, Ebony and Ramayah went there to see them. Many family members and friends attended. It sure was good to see them again. Ramayah is a doll.
Matthew and Jessica Osgood also got home for the Christmas holiday. Matthew is serving in the Air Force. Again we are so proud of our young men serving our country. We thank you for all you do and the sacrifices that you make every day.

We are pleased to announce that Brianna and Molly White made the dean’s list with a big 4.0 average. We sure are proud of both of them. They are the daughters of Greg White of Easton and the granddaughters of Pete and Ann White. The girls go to the University of New England in Biddeford.
Also, Corey White, son of Darrell White and grandson of Pete and Ann White of Easton, made the dean’s list with an average of 3.8. We are so proud of him, also. Corey goes to UMPI in Presque Isle.
Grandparents Pete and Ann are so proud of them and it is quite an honor to have three grandchildren in college and all making the dean’s list.
