Hello to all: since we were unable to have our annual Christmas luncheon, my husband found the items below for your reading pleasure. I hope everyone is staying safe. I plan for our May 1, 2021 luncheon. Hope to see you there. Until then:
Enclosed is a list of Easton Hospital newspaper articles from 1962 thru 1972. I am sorry but all that was available online was a short description of the article in the Easton Express. If you wanted to read the whole article you would have to go to the Easton Public Library to view old Express newspapers on Micro film. These are what was on that index with only a small description and date printed in the paper. Still I found them interesting and hope you do to.
