A Maine-made memorial stone for the 26 students and adults who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. this past December is pictured Saturday at the Old Orchard Beach fire station. The memorial made seven stops at fire stations in Maine on its way to Newtown, where a private ceremony will be held tonight during its installation. Pictured behind the stone, left to right, are Michelle, Jayden and Richard Gray. Richard Gray is the person who came up with the idea for the stone. (DINA MENDROS/Journal Tribune)
