Meet Andy Bertocci

Retired, he now lives in Yarmouth and since 2020 has been collecting discarded and damaged lamps to repair, and often rebuild completely into something new and beautiful for our neighbors.

Her parents moved back to Maine, where they were originally from, and Diana attended Greely High School in Cumberland and then went on to Endicott College.
