Last week, I made the 1000 mile plus trip to the great north woods to visit my sister. While I was there I picked up two old dressers which were in an old company house my parents bought back in 1974 when my grandmother's house became unliveable. They bought the house from a man named Sam and we knew that he had a son named Rueben, but didn't know much more. Yesterday, I pulled the 1973 newspapers out of the drawers and discovered that Rueben had left a clue about himself. The name Rueben Samuel and his last name was written twice in pencil across the bottom of the drawer! So now we know that he probably got his middle name from his father and who knows where Rueben came from--a grandfather maybe? Not relevant to my family, but shows that you can find clues to people in some unlikely places!
Note to Sarah and Frances: It only snowed once, but there was a 40 mile an hour wind with it!
Ah Spring in the north country! 
Then I heard that Sarah was probably sunbathing in Minneapolis three days later when the temperature hit 97 degrees!
