On This Day
On this day the French followed our lead and put the church and state in different places, a spy’s chickens came home to roost, and Charlie Brown had a holiday party on T.V. In Minot, our local newspaper was growing, we were cracking down on slot machines, and we were bringing back “old-fashioned” spelling bees.
