Thanks for restoring "Seems Like Yesterday"

Congrats to The Herald for responding to the public’s request for the return of Jack O’Donnell’s “Seems Like Yesterday.” The feature was so much fun to read and reminisce about. It also provided a source of information for those who wanted to know more about our local history.

I would love to to see The Herald go a step further and add a feature that includes old photos. I’m sure The Herald has plenty of photos in its archives. Maybe the local historic societies, the libraries and readers could be a part of such a photo feature.

I applaud The Herald for continuing to be a reflection of this area, whether it be today, tomorrow … or the past.
