Blue Angels fly over students.

Midcoast BBQ!

The Blue Angels

by Rosemary Harkenrider-Crossman

On Thursday, September 3rd, while students, staff and faculty enjoyed a welcome back

barbeque on the South Portland campus, listened to the Proftones, comprised of SMCC

professors, and marveled at the ocean’s spray students on the Midcoast campus in Brunswick

enjoyed a barbeque of their own, accompanied by the Blue Angels buzzing through the sky.

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels returned from a three-year hiatus to the former Brunswick

Naval Yard, which closed in 2011, and put on an airshow for an expected audience of 70,000

over the two-day show.

Midcoast campus students (from left to right) Jake Lipetz, Rosemary Harkenrider-

Crossman and Isabel Drehobl seem to be unaware of the Blue Angels flying by until the jets

sound passed by.
