Westbrook students last week appear with musician Al Hawkes in his recording studio to perform on a CD he’s producing about the joys of living in Maine. The students sang “The Westbrook Song” that Hawkes wrote. CD profits will benefit the Parkinson Association of Maine. Singers are, from left, Westbrook High School senior Delaney Baither; and sixth-graders Eliza Bureau, Rachel Richards, Nate Jacobs, Angelica Johns, Megan Fletcher and Lucas Carrier.

The Fogg’s were one of two couples who renewed their marriage vows and danced at the senior care facility on Valentine’s Day.
