If you’re from Houlton and you remember World War II, you may know right off the bat that those are the names of the seven sons of Milton and Mildred (Allen) Lambert who served in World War II.

I’m looking at their pictures and write-ups in the 2007 issue of “The County” edition of Paper Talks, which I fondly call “the magazine I can’t throw away.”

Editor Pierre Dumont has been in touch to let us know that he is working on a World War II issue for Piscataquis and Somerset County, and another one for Penobscot County. The deadlines for submissions are right around the corner.

Photos and information for the Piscataquis-Somerset issue are due Oct. 1, and for Penobscot County Nov. 30.

First of all, each picture has to be a real photograph, not a photocopy, because that won’t reproduce well. All photos – preferably from the time of military service – will be returned. Or, you may scan a photo and e-mail it to info@papertalks.com.

If you send a photo electronically, it needs to be good resolution, such as 300 dpi.

Mailed photos may be sent to Paper Talks Magazine, P.O. Box 219, Jonesboro 04648. Put name and return address on the back of each photo.

As for sending information, the best thing to do is to write or e-mail Pierre at the above addresses and ask for the questionnaire he uses.

The info requested for the World War II veteran – deceased or living, includes full name – birth date and place, names of parents including mother’s maiden name, hometown, enlistment or draft date, branch of service, unit or ship, duties in WWII, where the veteran served, commendations or medals received, discharge date and rank, place of settlement after return home, career after military, retirement date, wedding date and spouse’s name, children, where they live today, current names of children, where the veteran lives now or date of death and last residence, and contact information for person submitting info.

If you prefer, you can e-mail the information to Pierre.

It may be that you don’t have the answer to every single question, but do the best you can.

I plan to submit photos and info for my dad, Gayland Moore

Jr. of Abbot, and for my great-aunt, Marion Roberts Dyer of Hampden.

They’re both gone now, and I’d like them to be remembered.

The Castine Historical Society will hold its annual meeting and final program of the season at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 29, in the Mitchell Room, Abbott School, on the town common.

Todd Nelson, principal of the Adams School, will give a multimedia presentation on his visit to France, “The Baron’s Heirs: Historical Cousins in Castine and St. Castin.” In June, Nelson and his family visited Castine’s sister town, the ancestral home of the Baron de St. Castin, a 17th century French settler of the area that now bears his name.

Nelson visited with local officials and townspeople, presenting official greetings from Gov. John Baldacci and a Maine flag, and participated in the dedication of a new school building.

Nelson has proposed a student exchange program between the schools in both towns, with the Adams School seventh- and eighth-grade class heading to France in the spring of 2008 and French students coming to Maine in 2009.

The Aug. 29 program will begin with refreshments, Nelson’s lecture, then a short CHS business meeting. All are welcome. For info, contact the Castine Historical Society at 326-4118 or info@castinehistoricalsociety.org.
