Thanks, Wilma. I was at the Library in Mt Vernon some time ago, but was
looking for something else and didn't pay attention to the newspapers
then.......of course. Now that I know they go back that far though, I will
make an effort at some point to go back to Mt Vernon and see what they have.
Thanks so much for your response.

Jan
