I wonder if any of the families listed on that day’s announcements kept a copy of the paper as a remembrance for the child ... like ‘This is what was news the day you were born, and you were news!’ For years my Mother had a copy of a Arlington County area newspaper for the day I was born announcement. But then I was born the day the atom bomb was dropped ...
The announcement didn’t come in the paper for several days ... announcement of my birth that is.
