HI Dan, We haven't "talked" in a long time. Having spent considerable time at the Durand library, which is now in the High School, I can tell you that they have considerable original copies of the newpapers as well as on micro film. I was particularly happy with the "Entering Wedge" and found many references to my STOKES and CATURIA/CATURA families. Sorry I can't tell you what their schedule is, and as I remember, it does vary with the time of year. You will probably hear from someone local in Durand who can home in on that. Best regards, Gordon Madison Dan Patnode wrote: > Might someone be able to tell me the days and hours the library in Durand is > open?
