Thank
you to Rick Well (NewsOn6) for the TV news coverage of the "Newspaper
Museum In Collinsville " today -- Ted wright 1/24/2016
-- Clarification:
The Wright family (starting with W.L. Wright in 1899) published
"The Collinsville News" for 88 years until my dad (John
Wright) sold in 1987. Under different management the total years
of that newspaper was 115 years. And there is a nice newspaper museum
in Guthrie and perhaps others in Oklahoma? If you would like to
visit the "Newspaper Museum In Collinsville" send me an
email:
