During that visit, he made a flight along the beach near Scarborough, taking off on the sands of Old Orchard Beach. The building is in the Scarborough Industrial Park and it is home to the Libby-Mitchell American Legion Post 76, whose baseball team is selling the bulbs for $l4.95 each, or $25 for two. They will be available at Shirley’s Hallmark Store at Hannaford Plaza; Saco Biddeford Savings Institution; and at the law firm of Jones and Warren, Oak Hill Professional Building, 243 Route 1, Scarborough.
