Around the Town Notes and Stories from Local Gallery Visits
A small boy visiting the gallery last spring signed the children's register after a prompt from Charlotte King the attendant. Mechanicsville highway signs confuse residents with only the official term Mechanicville used by the state commission. Verlan Smith and his father Rob carried out a rite of revenge by abducting neighbor Howard Hanson to Spring Grove cemetery. Mary Lackersteen received a call about a Christmas card design featuring a tree and camels. The Kiwanis club posed a riddle about the mule being a hybrid that can reproduce. Friday the 13th sign work and a buzzing apartment door mystery produced minor expenses. Radio information will move networks soon with a new sponsor. The infant Carlton Justin Albright is nicknamed Chief Justice or Chief by his father.
