And welcome to the site. :)

Tiny town=no articles on the net...I'll see if I can go up to the journal office and get a copy and scan it. They had typed up a couple of his journal entries and had a couple pictures.

That doesn't surprise me...they get everything wrong...the proof-reader up there is 86 years old...no joke. She won't pay someone else to do it. They've messed up every announcement I put in the paper...my engagement announcement to my ex...my daughter's birth announcement...my bridal shower announcement...when I was a kid they always got my name wrong...
What's the correction so I can tell her...maybe she'll get the point after making enough mistakes...
