Shawn - You might be interested in knowing it is standard practice for newspapers to charge for obits. The Mpls Tribune charges $9.95 per LINE (4-5 words) plus $29.95 for guest book services. I, too, love to read them for historical and sentimental value but the newspaper is a business and, as such, must charge for its' real estate just to keep the paper viable. It is not the newspapers' responsibility to provide us with a sense of history. I think you need to ante up a bit more than ten dollars to show the depth of your concern. Clare
