The photojournalism is impressive.
Here then, courtesy of that publication and the resources at the Ritter Public Library, are selected pages from the July 10, 1969 edition. Click on each for a (hopefully) readable version.

As sort of a bonus, here are some photos of the July 4, 1969 Vermilion flooding and post-flood damage sent to me by longtime reader and contributor Jeremy Reynolds. He noted that they were taken on July 5, 1969.
Outstanding material, Dan.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Buster. As always, the goal is to make this stuff available to anyone who is interested and is unable to access the microfilm at the library.
