Love Blooms in Winter KENNEBUNK In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, here is a love story that stands the test of time. Bob and Annette first met at Huntington Common. Bob entered the home a few years before Annette. He was always very social and quickly grew into an important role there. He developed strong friendships and participated fully in the senior living community. “We want you to continue to live your life to the fullest and that was Bob’s plan from the get go,” says Sue Benner, activity and volunteer coordinator. “He did stop in his
tracks, however, the very day that Annette toured our community. He happened to catch
a glimpse of her in the front lobby and was attracted to her from the moment he saw her.”
Annette will also tell you that she noticed Bob immediately and “wooed” him shortly after she moved in. She too was quite taken when she first saw Bob on her tour. When I asked Annette about her wooing technique, she said, “I left him a six pack of bottled root beer outside his door off and on for several weeks, anonymously,” Annette said. “Eventually, I had lunch with Bob one day when there was an open spot at his table. Shortly after, I saw that his daughters were visiting and decided to bring the root beer to his apartment and share it with his family. It was the perfect moment to meet his children.”Bob & An-
nette are on their third year of courtship, and they are loving every moment. They feel that their love is precious and can’t believe that they can be this happy at this point in their life. It was very unexpected for both of them. Bob had been married twice previously for long periods of time and is blessed with a large family who loves him dearly. Curious about what led to the couple falling in love, Benner asked Bob, “Why do you think that you have fallen in love for the third time in your life? How did that happen?” “My first wife, before See LOVE page 4...

He spies Madi McCoomb free in the corner and passes her the ball. She sees Max Blackwin under the hoop and quickly moves the ball to him. He hits the layup, and the crowd goes wild.

To be sure, this is not your typical high school basketball game. Male and female players from two schools — Marshwood and Noble — team up to compete in the Maine Principals Association Co-ed Unified Basketball League. It’s a fresh approach to high school sports which began four years ago, and now boasts 23 teams statewide. The team, known as the Knight Hawks which combines the two school’s mascots, practices once a week at the Marshwood Great Works School and plays two to three games a week at their “home
court,” Marshwood High School. If there were ever a hurdle to bringing together boys and girls from two schools to play one unified game, one would not know it from looking at the way the players interact with each other. They seem to have been teammates for a while. And the crowd loves it. Parents, friends, and classmates pack the gymnasium and go wild with each basket, even cheering the other team. The team is cocoached by Tatyana Wolterbeek, a Wellness teacher at MHS who See HAWKS page 35...
