A reunion of four generations of mothers and daughters came together on Christmas Day, 2022. The holidays have a wonderful way of bringing families together. For the Lalime-Welch-Haskin family it meant that one-year-old Reed Haskin met her 90-year-old great-grandmother “Jamma” for the first time. Marjory, Jody and Hattie all grew up in East Vassalboro, while home for little Reed is Anchorage, Alaska. Contributed photo
