July 26, 1973, Twin City News-Record
Friend to the blog, Don Nussbaum, was kind enough to send this photo along. Contained within the centennial edition of the News-Record, this guy had been eluding me for years. As I told Don, it's amazing how something taken for granted all those years ago would be so elusive in showing itself in the media of the time. But then I did a last minute Google search before I posted this and found the following post from Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MenashaForum/permalink/776988125736797/
If I had looked a bit more diligently (or recently), I could have had a similar photo two years ago! Not sure how I missed that, as much as I use Facebook, but despite my shortcomings, let me say I am encouraged and delighted by the embrace of history by those residents (and past ones, like myself) who have a passion for Menasha and go the extra mile to do some research. Everyone can, and often does, contribute. As a result, we all benefit. My hat is off to all of you.
