Back then 1 wasn't interested in any deals or fumniture; mostly 1 just wanted to go home. But as years pass and you grow up, you look back on things a littie differently. Visiting the Miii on Friday to celebrate its 25 year history brought back a few familiar old sights, and just a feel in the air. Suddenly ail those nights spent there were no longer long forgotten. In fact, now 1 found that these were treasured memories. 1 stood and looked at the Grist Miii with a different iight. For those who have met the owrier, Frank Stapleton, you wilIl probably know that you would be bard pressed to find another person as nice as he is. I was truly impressed to see him interact with the people around him. So what am I saying? I guess 1 am just wishing Frank, his family, and the Grist Mili a happy 25 year anniversary. That is a lot of Friday nights. And a lot of memories. Vour paper is a littie thinner You might notice that your paper is a littie thinner tbis week. That is in part due to the fact that 1 have been in and out of the bospitai for the treatment of kidney stones. The painful littie buggers have been plaguing me -for almost two months now, but in the last week flared up to the point 1 had to go to the hospital. Because of them, I have missed a few local events, most notably the iast' whistle at the Orono Tree Nursery. 1 am going to Lo ndon this week to have themn broken up by a laser. Hopefully by the weekend 1 will be feeling like my old self again and can get back to work - covering the stories around the aru.
