Please note that yesterday's post was printed just as it appeared in the paper, and "Idell" Seago should have been "Adell". I also found a headline mistake-my own- in an earlier post and corrected it. Do not hesitate to send me corrections. They are easily fixed and benefit others.

Thank you, Mary. I appreciate seeing this. Did it really say Allen Bates? My Dad's name was Alex.

Sorry Mary. This was in a very, very poor dark copy of the paper and I looked at it again with the magnifying glass. It says Allex. I corrected it for you.
