Anita
& Alex Theberge
|
 |
| The
picture was taken in the about 1989 at "Cooks Lobster
House", a restaurant sitting on the ocean - a most
wonderful place to eat. I have very few pictures of Anita
and her family. Anita was the saintly one...the one with
the big heart, the one who always came to everybody's aid,
the one who was always there, no matter what. In this picture,
you see...from left to right: Barbara Theberge, Alex and
Anita (nee Paquette) Theberge, Troy Lachance (Larry's nephew/Paul
Lachance's son) and of course..me, Larry. We had a great
time feasting on lobster ... Troy had a steak (ugh!)...
I think we had to pay double because it was "imported"
from Iowa. I don't think Alex and Anita had ever seen Troy
before this night, but they took us both in like members
of the family. This was one of those times one will never
forget. |

After the dinner, we went back to the Theberge
home and sat around and talked. That's Larry, Troy and Alex in the back
and Anita in the front...Barbara took the picture.
From my trip of the summer of 2001,
I have no photos. I got lost trying to find their house,
ending up at Mere Point (the end of the road) in Brunswick.
I met a lady there who was kind enough to allow me to
go into her home and use the phone to call for directions.
I made it 10 miles out of the way. The lady??....I have
no idea who she was, but I do know she was extremely kind,
had a beautiful home overlooking the water and the view
from her window was like heaven on earth. When all was
said and done, we only had about an hour together.
When my grandfather (Antoine - "Tony")
died, it was Anita who came to the rescue, made all the plans, did everything....she
IS a saint. Alex and Anita had seven children, I only know Barbara (and
she is very much like her mother in her kindness and gentle heart).
Anita is the daughter of Leon L. Paquette and Maria
Joséphine Zoé Lachance (my grandfather Tony's sister).

Leon L. Paquette is pictured in the center
of the photograph on the right. He is seated between my uncle Hervé
and my great grandfather - Joseph Lachance. Where they are...hmmm,
I have no idea except that it is somewhere in Lewiston. Leon is Anita's
father. Leon is the son of Louis Paquette and Amanda Lebel.
Alex Theberge married Anita
Paquette May 10, 1947 at St John the Baptist Church
in Lewiston. Alex is directly descended from Louis
Théberge and Bastienne (Sébastienne) Prechat
ou Pelchat who married February 28, 1715 at St-Martin
les Briards, Avranches, Normandie, France.
