Thank you , Ruth! I have really enjoyed reading your emails...much more interesting than today's paper. I'm glad you are going to continue.  Toni Bement from Jamaica --- On Sat, 2/12/11, Ruth Barton <[email protected]> wrote: From: Ruth Barton <[email protected]> Subject: [VERMONT] 1885 To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, February 12, 2011, 1:22 AM Well folks, thus ends the year 1885 in Ludlow and nearby towns.  Hope you all have enjoyed that look back at the people and doings of the area as much as I have. I don't have many papers from 1886, 87 or 88, but have almost all from '89 which I am working on now.  So stay tuned.  I'm sure some of you have found some items humorous, some brutal and some shocking in their political uncorrectness, according to the customs of TODAY.  Some I almost didn't include but decided they were important at the time, and that's the way they wrote about them, and if we want to get the full picture we need to see it "warts and all."  Ruth -- Ruth Barton [email protected] Dummerston, VT *************************************** List Guidelines: http://home.sprynet.com/~darrellm/list_rules.htm Visit the Gateway to Vermont Web Site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vermont/  ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
