The guest of honor was fashionably late for her own ceremony, but then again, 93-years-young Frances Vane had no clue until she arrived in the function room at the Machias Veterans Home that she was, in fact, the guest of honor. 

The honor bestowed on Vane was the presentation of the Boston Post Cane as Whitneyville’s most senior resident by Whitneyville selectboard members Judy Spencer, Brenda Bridges, and Chairman Nate Pennell.
