Peter Richards, a retired teacher from Georgia who has been living on Vinalhaven the last several years, was named by the Maine Principals Association as the school volunteer of the year. Staff say Richards comes to the Vinalhaven School most days to give elementary students extra support in math. According to his wife, when he got the news of the honor via his answering machine, he thought it was a hoax.
