DEAR SUN SPOTS: On Tuesday, July 12, a red truck with an attached trailer containing electrical equipment drove past our home on Sunset Street, heading towards South Avenue in Lewiston. After hitting a bump, a parts and operator’s manual and a small part for a Craftsman wheeled trimmer fell out. This was placed at the curb hanging from a reflector in a plastic bag. If it’s yours, please pick it up. —Pat, Lewiston

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I was at the Hannaford supermarket on July 7 to do some shopping and as I approached the cashier, the gentleman in front of me (who was a Vietnam veteran) told the cashier to include my shopping with the his and the lady behind me.
In shock, I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted. I thanked him very much for his kindness. Nothing like this has ever happened to me. I got in my car and cried thinking, “What a wonderful man. Thank you again, sir, from the bottom of my heart. God will bless you for your kindness and thank you for your service. There are still wonderful people in this world and I wish him the best. — Doris, no town
