    3. What this will take without an exact date, is to search each days paper one at a time- for the entire time of which you think it may have appeared- long job- lots of micro-film viewing- unless one gets lucky right off and finds the day- it may take more than one trip to get it and it may show up right away- one of those things that will be hard pressed to find someone to help freely with - I only have certain days of which I can even go to Tampa and it is a 45 min drive for me- but if I get to go over there this week ( Monday) I can maybe give a paper or 2 a look for you - This is that I am hoping to get over there this week- I think the years you have here I will not be able to get locally so the trip is necessary- Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "nancy rodriguez" <nrodrigu@nycap.rr.com> To: <FLHILLSB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 10:03 PM Subject: Re: [FLHILLSB] Looking for 1944 article. > Hi Peggy, > > Thank you for your offer.
