Forgot to mention this. I'm going to test my scanner with the microfilm to see if I can actually scan some of the newpaper images. If I can, I will be glad to share with folks that are interested. I'll let you know how it goes later this evening. I have the microfilm reserved in my name at the library through Dec 14. I will mostly be doing the pages that have the local news about people and not the whole newspaper with all the adds and national news. Kind of interesting to see how much was actually in the newspaper back then and how important the newspaper was to people. There was one article from Four Mile Twp that complained about lack of newspaper delivery due to weather. Sandy Buffalo234@aol.com wrote: >Hey Sandy! >Was that Richard HOWARD?
