---- Ah, c'mon. Tell us why you want the information. We're all dyin'. I'd hit the newspapers, myself. You should be able to find small local newspapers that have a lot of personal information in them. Vick Bennison ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!tools!bennison (603) 881-2156

Sure -- it's no secret, I just wanted to keep my posting short. I am writing a book on Canadian social history, organized around the big and small events of that single day. Yes, newspapers will be the primary source, and I've looked at a fair number of them so far, with more to come. But I'd also like material that never made it into the papers, the activities of people who just lived ordinary lives that day.
