Yearend reflections and football chatter on a gray Brady day
A Brady column mixes yearend musings with football recall and quick history notes. The writer references Mrs. M G Seate of Milburn, 1973, new taxes, and a New Year mood while recalling Navy Armed Forces Radio Network origins at Adak Alaska in 1942. The piece previews a sports quiz about the Dallas Cowboys and mixed bowl results. It ends with memories of New Year Eves and Cubi Point patrols from 1955 as context.
