    And no - I couldn't find any papers showing your article with photo.

    Suggest you now find papers local to the area that are not on BNA - and go physically search their back issues around that October date. At least you won't have to READ them ... the photo should jump out at you!

    Happy Hunting

    Okay - so it's Optical Character Recognition.
    In other words - by machine.

    It's a whole new vocabulary - and it doesn't interest me AT ALL.
    I just want to be able to hit buttons and read the ORIGINAL.

    I suppose I just appreciate that I'm so lucky that some people are AT ALL interested in OCR that I can sit at home and hit buttons and read the ORIGINAL.
