100 Years Ago Today
Honor Dad's Punch
On this day 100 years ago...
81 year old Dad Stimpson owner of Dad's grocery store punched a customer in the face for speaking badly about President Wilson.
Firemen in the area are buying Dad a flag for his heroic drive.
"We the undersigned true American citizens wish to show our appreciation toward Dad Stimpson for upholding our president and country, by donating toward an American flag to be presented to him for his noble act."
Joab, the man that was hit for speaking badly about the president is said to be seeking a warrant for Dads arrest.
