Thank you for including my post this week and also for highlighting the rest of the posts. There are always a few posts I didn’t read (often on blogs I don’t follow). Thanks again. Happy New Year to you.
Thank you for the tip to dig deeper on library sites. There are so many places where I would love to see digitized newspapers. I will have to look again to see if some are done and on line, but not readily found on local library websites.
It was a great story and it’s always nice to be able to find the back story of the black sheep. Great sleuthing.
