Wasn't there someone on this list who worked or had access to the public library archives that held CJ newspapers? Surely the public library can offer a copy of an obit cheaper than $12.00. Or if it is still that expensive, can someone send a RAOK person down to get a copy of the obit at the library cheaper? A certified copy of the death certificate costs half what a xerox copy of an obit is. I don't understand that if someone has the exact date of death. totally frustrated, Pam
