DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have some foreign coins and paper money that I’m wondering if anyone would like. My son gave it to me years ago when he was in the service. He is deceased now, and I have no use for it and would like to give it to someone who may have a collection already. You are so very helpful to so many. I thank you in advance. My phone is 207-320-2303. Leave me a message if I’m not able to take the call.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: On Friday, Jan. 1, I lost my silver wedding ring. I went to Kentucky Fried Chicken, Shaws and CVS in Lewiston. It will be my 50th wedding anniversary, and I would love to have my ring back. If anyone has found it, please contact me at 207-784-9624. Thanks so much!

DEAR SUNSPOTS: Can you tell me and several other people anything about how to get income tax forms and booklets for 2015. I believe there was an office on Main St., which I think is now closed. There has been an office on Lisbon Street, but maybe that’s not open or going to be. Is there an office in Augusta or Portland? If so, where? Is the booklet and tax rates available online? Many thanks. — Frank, Lewiston.
