August 23, 1962, Appleton Post-Crescent
Here's a good "Looking Backward" column from the Post-Crescent regarding the animosity between the two towns, early on. It always seems to stem from one town having it better than the other, and look at the date. It's during the Civil War, but we tend to forget that life goes on, despite these historical benchmarks; that in the light of today's hindsight, we think nothing else is of importance and lose sight of everyday life. Well, just ask the agitated citizens of Menasha and Neenah during this time of what consequence these threats were, of how they jeopardized their livelihoods and threatened the economies of their respective communities.
