[or-roots] Historical newspapers

[Pearlsoup at aol.com]

Ok, Dana! You are welcome to come pick them up and they are free, no 
charge. It saves a box and I think the postage would have been expensive anyway. 
The box weighs 4 lbs. Let me know when you want to get them and we can meet 
somewhere.
Linda
PS Please let me know if you change your mind so someone else can have a 
chance at them. Thanks!
