The New York Times

Grandpa And The Entire 1938 Corn Crop
The Year Before Daddy Returned To The Farm

     I doubt than anyone else in our county subscribed to the Sunday New York Times with the possible exception of public libraries in the larger towns near by.   Our rural mailman delivered it by car each Tuesday morning.  I was always amazed that it came all the way from New York City to our mailbox within 48 hours of its publication.  I don't remember when Daddy's subscription to the Times began, but I cannot connect the paper in my memory with Mommy or Grammy.  So I assume it began to arrive after they had passed away.  If the paper did not come on Tuesday for some reason, Daddy was very disappointed and in a blue funk until the Wednesday mail delivery arrived.
