Below is a newspaper clipping my grandmother saved from, we think, around 1961, about a makeshift oscillating bed that her father, my great grandfather, “Hum” Reynolds helped make for a WWII veteran with poor circulation to one of his legs.

Some photos from Popham Beach. It’s good to be home

Digging out the storage at my parents’ house and found some evidence of a 5th grade science experiment on heat absorption 🤓.

And that strikes me as pretty much the way school should be at that age.
