Read MoreThe Joy of Research
I love research. There. I can admit. I love the fact that now I know a stamp cost 3 cents in 1943. That a movie ticket was 17 cents. That half of all K-9s used during World War II by the military were trained at a remote fort in Nebraska. That there were less than…

Last year we missed this and we usually do it every year. This year we have our boxes almost stuffed full, and all we need to do is make the cards and get them to the drop off center 1/2 a mile away. The collection deadline is from November 13-20th so I think we’ll make…
