Memorial Day 2014: What People are Reading in the Fond du Lac Reporter


Fond du Lac Reporter

Bradford, Pennsylvania: Home of the Zippo Manufacturing Company


Zippo was founded in 1932, when Bradford was at its population peak.

Bradford is located 34 miles northeast of Warren PA, where I spent my formative years.  Outside of a 9th grade basketball game, I never had any reason to go there.

This group certainly has some challenges.

Jeanne Williams (1941-2014) Warren High School Class of 1959




Jeanne's best years were from 1922 to 1931 and from 1945 to 1953 when she cracked the top 100.  Best year:  1946 at #83.  She fell off the list after 1990 and has not been heard from since.


I'm sure they dance to this song at The Spot in the spring of 1959.
