Ah yes, I've been reading more newspapers. As I can, I am going to share the information I've found lately. I am going thru 13,000 plus references to Gorin in the old papers, courtesy of newspaperarchives.com. I am trying a 7 day trial, can't really swing a year's sub at $99 so I'm reading fast. It takes a long time because I have to elimintate Igor Gorin the baritone, King Gorin the racehorse, Michael Gorin who was a Russian Spy, Gorin MO refs (named for our family), etc. I like this service because unlike others, it doesn't list all the classified ads! Here are the first few: The Lima (OH) News, Sept 7, 1952: "Mrs. Julia G. Gorin, 62, widow of Clifford H Gorrin, died at 7:15 p.m. Saturday at St. Rita's hospital after an extended illness.
