Jon Dawson: Jenny Lind, Billie Jean and The Voice
Many of you may be familiar with the photographs of Woody Spencer. If not, look him up on Facebook and you’ll be treated to volumes of great local images.

By Jon Dawson It had been a long day for Jonathan Massey, 32, of Hookerton. A report he’d been working on for a week was deleted by his computer during its 37th update of the week. His dog chewed up all of his Slim Whitman albums, and he found out the entertainment at this year’s office […]
