Thank you Aunt Lydia for taking care of me when I was a young man and letting me borrow one of my cousins' bikes which I learned how to ride down the street where you and Uncle George lived in Belle Haven...and for not scolding me for almost drowning in the harbor while swimming with Gabette Hamlin...last time I saw you on Chebeague Island, you were most content. You were one of the rocks of the Stevens family.
