My Dad, with the unwavering support of my Mom was the owner & editor of 2 small town newspapers: the Ninnescah Valley News and the Mount Hope Clarion. Dad's editorial column of nearly 30 years was called "and in this corner... t&n" - it was beloved by all who read it. My Dad passed away on the 23rd of January, after battling lymphoma for 9 months and I have since had numerous requests to publish his "corners" as they have become known. While he did create the newspapers on his laptop for the past 8-10 years, he never once saved it on a disc or jump drive, so the only copies we have of those editorial columns are in the actual printed newspapers...piles of which can be found in literary towers in my folk's basement. So publishing them becomes a process of riffling through 30 years of weekly newspapers, typing them into my laptop and posting them here; in this corner of the world wide web.
