[AT] Lancaster Farming ads

[charlie hill]

Well you probably get the Alabama Co-op paper for the same reason I do.  I 
was trying to avoid admitting that I can't remember the fellows name but 
there was a guy on the list that was in the Air Force (I believe)  His 
father wrote a column for that paper and I asked him to subscribe me or give 
me the info to subscribe so that I could read his dad's rather interesting, 
remembering the old days type column.   His dad stopped writing the column 
rather abruptly and he disappeared from the list about the same time.  I 
wasn't surprised that his dad stopped the column because he was getting on 
up in age.  I don't know what happened to him and again I apologize for 
forgetting his name because we had become semi-regular off list chatters and 
I really enjoyed talking to him.
