This newspaper was in circulation until the late 80’s and I don’t doubt that that is what it in fact stated.
I don’t think that it has any bearing regarding the coco solo/colon birth issue though. They had a birth announcement, the father was stationed at cs., so....
If someone starts showing me clinic births on pacific side by clinic (other than ancon) name rather than by base name, I would look at this at least somewhat differently.
I don't doubt that the announcement appeared in the paper. That doesn't make it true.
