From where I sit about a late paper delivery
A reader recalls a nighttime phone call from Whitey Fisher praising this week's Clarion and explains it was a joke about the delivery time. The note honors respect for others and mentions a late delivery by Buzzy Wilson after a school stop, with a nod to personal responsibility and a beer-rights sentiment.
