Stellar Tnet Member Donates Historical Item To its Rightful Home!
Mike Post Had told me that he was going to return the printing plate that he recovered from the shoe factory to what has now been converted to a historic hotel. So imagine my suprise when I opened the Lynchburg paper today I saw the article about the donation. Mike "a treasure hunter"
had brought the plate up and handed it over.WTG Mike This deserves a Honorable Mention For sure!
Here is the Link to the article:
