Front Page News - March 12, 1770

Tony Nauroth, a columnist with the Express Times newspaper in the Lehigh Valley, has put out a call for information on a March 12, 1770 Boston Gazette Country Journal front page article foreshadowing the Dec 16 1773 Boston Tea Party.  The newspaper clipping is now owned by Ruth Gainer of Moore Township, left to her by her late husband, Glenn, whose last request was for Ruth to find out more about the clipping, originally found by in a drawer in his grandmother's house in Elizabethtown, PA when he was in high school.  (Glenn died last July, age 90.)

Kudos to the Express Times for two different history-focused features this Sunday morning.
