Birth Announcement Look-up hints

New type of "try to find" for me. A friend was born in August of 1946 in
Osh Kosh Wisconsin and my wife wants me to try to find two things. One

Dave Hinz...

It's "Oshkosh". One word. This may help.

is a newspaper, page one, from then and the other would be her birth
announcement. I've done a bit of searching the web, no luck so far, but will do
more the next couple evenings. Any helpful hints out there? They'd sure
be appreciated.

Dave Hinz...

Try it as "Oshkosh" instead of "Osh Kosh".

Doug Chadduck...

DOH
Sound of hand slapping forhead.
Wrote it just like wife did and didn't even think about it.
Forgot to engage brain before proceeding.
Oh well.

We already have the Number 1 Billboard hit for her birthday and for
every 10th year since. Got the record or CD with the tunes so will give
her those. I've done a compilation CD with just the #1s. But my wife
just keeps thinking up more things for me to find.

Charani...

Wives are like that

Don't forget that the headlines for the day in question is actually
the news from the day before. So if you want the events that happened
on the actual birthday, you'd need the following day's news.

Doug Chadduck...

Good point. We've tried every year to save the newspapers on our kid's
birthdays. Got most of them. Don't know if they'll appreciate them one
day or not. Oh well. Hope so.

Charani...

Probably but not until they have children of their own who are old
enough to start asking "what was it like in the olden days?" and "did
you meet Wyatt Earp?" ;))

That's a lovely present you and your wife are giving.

Doug Chadduck...

I made wrapping paper by scanning the CD covers, finding some newspaper
headlines, and some Billboard Record sheets. With Adobe Elements I made
them all into a collage and printed it at 11x 17. More than plenty to
wrap a stack of music CDs.

Charani...

That's clever!! Very original :))

Thanks Much Doug

Alida Spry...

email me privately, I can look up your friend's name and see if I can find
the birth announcement for you.

This is a site that gives events that happened on a specific date:

Hope that helps.
