Welcome to 1995 from the North Side Lake View
A personal reflection from south side by B E Baker about starting 1995 at Moberly Lake. He notes peace, log trucks, cold winters, and limited TV with CJDC as the sole station. He recalls 1981 Fur Fin and Feathers column warning on gun controls, criticizing inheritance bans and firearm registrations now in effect. He laments grandparents losing guns to laws that prevent passing them to heirs.
