Micah and Danielle Thompson got into the spirit with their costumes at the Reed's North fundraiser for the Warner Historical Society with its Ski history theme on Jan. 18th.
Early Sunday morning (1/22/23), Anders Sailer was airlifted from Bangor, Maine to Portsmouth, New Hampshire by plane and from Portsmouth to Mass General in Boston by helicopter for an emergency brain surgery. A bad sinus infection during Christmas time created multiple abscesses in his brain (5cm), a "one in a Million" occurrence. He is on the road to recovery, and has left the ICU but will need extended antibiotic treatment and follow up sinus surgery (information provided by his mom, Pipere Sailer).
