Found some coins and found out my less than a year old waders were cracked all over and I got super...

    One word can make a difference

    I was doing some research at the library and reading old newspapers from 1894 and found one word that made a difference in my research that was significant. This particular spot was a major attraction in the early 1900's with fiddling contests, sings, 4th of July celebrations and other...
