Time Machine: 100 years ago this week in Pocomoke's newspaper; plus Holiday Time: 1904, 1966, 1969, 1955.

 

Mrs. Katherine Etchison was my great-aunt and was a local teacher. In 1960 she presented me with my first subscription to an unknown (to me) magazine called "National Geographic". I never threw away a copy and stored them under my bed to be pulled out and surreptitiously scanned at night, when I was supposed to be sleeping. By the time I graduated high school there were over 100 copies under there!


Your friend,
Slim
