I spent a lot of time in Chicopee in my mis-guided youth as a result of my friend moving there from Springfield.
It is a hoot to read that paper. I dare say that their view of cesession doesn’t surprise me: “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
Thanks for posting those. They are priceless. And nice copies too.
