The VHS Class of 1959

Persons interested in the history of the Lake Shore Electric Railway (which was the subject of a past podcast series) – “the greatest electaric railway system on the planet” may want to go to Amazon.com and purchase a book called “Images of Rail – Lake Shore Electric Railway”. It was put together by Thomas J. Patton with the help of my friends DENNIS LAMONT and the late ALBERT DOANE. It’d make a nice gift.

Another great book with Vermilion Roots is, “Grandma’s Favorites: A Compilation of Recipes from MARGARET SANDERS BUELL by Amy O’Neal, ELIZABETH THOMPSON and MEG WALTER (May 2, 2012). This book very literally will provide one with the flavor of old Vermilion. And ye can also find it at Amazon.com. Take a look.
DAVE’S NEW BOOK: Views readers might remember Dave Schwensen’s humor column, “Something To Laugh About” that ran in the Vermilion Photojournal, Sandusky Register and others.
