Folks,
Alan and Janelle Huey shared another treasure from their West Hi memorabilia. Here’s what Alan told us:
It was part of the West Side Story. I’m guessing they put out a sort of parody like the Daily Iowan used to do. Don’t know if you recall, but The Daily Iowan put out a satire edition once in a while, and they ran a story about the Pope blessing Iowa from a jet as he passed over on a US visit. The Iowa City Associated Press writer, read it, and re-wrote it as an AP article. The Des Moines Register picked it up and it also appeared there, as serious news. But all that is conjecture on my part.
I’ll get the storage box back out at my earliest opportunity. It’s on a shelf in the garage, and I have to move two cars and get out the ladder to get to it.
