Shep Reads the News Interesting news notes and salutes

Shep would often read little news articles which were a cut above the norm and would offer a saute to them either as "H.G. Grubbage" or just to some silly music. But they were actual news clippings he read from and following is a collection of ones I have been able to find. (Still a work in progress!)

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
