Both of those are seriously close to the bottom of the pile in what we 
call the morgue.  And while it might be possible to do some bit tweeking 
to clean up a blind offset plate, it would sure be a thankless job to 
rewrite those now digital images.

And its dates (Dec 1940 etc) mean that I was just barely 6 years old, so 
I obviously never had a chance to see those articals first hand.  So I 
guess maybe my grandfather may have said what he wished would happen.  
That would have to be a tad out of character for him IMO ubless he was 
horse trading. He rarely came back from town driving the same team he 
left with.

One thing he did pass down thru his 2nd daughter, to me, is a decent IQ.  
That daughter, my mother, was the only girl in the class on aviation 
technology at Des Moines Technical High School, in 1929. When a little 
boy asked a question, if she did not know the answer, she did know where 
the library was, so I was reading high school physics books by the time 
we moved to town to work loading ammo during WW-II. ISTR that was early 
in '42.

Thank you for digging that up.  It does I believe, lay that story to 
rest.
