Re: Daily News Archives
Kenton,
Thanks for the info! I new I was asking for a miracle, as we are talking
about the prestigious award winning daily news, Not!!!! No offense Kenton.
It is too bad that the archives are nonexistent. For those people out of
town who are trying to obtain some past news it is not possible for us to
trek down to the Lovely Lobby of the Snooze in order to view the past
papers.
If anyone out there happens to keep old copies of the Daily News, I am
looking for an article about the University of Idaho Soccer Play-offs. A
friend of mine has a son who I was told was the MVP for the Vandals as the
goalie. Apparently the actual goalie was injured so Joe/Josiah Black
stepped up and saved the day. I would love a copy or an actual clipping of
this article to give to her.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
If anyone should have what I am looking for let me know and I will give you
a mailing address
