Editor's Note: Of course Allen did not hit the crow. But why would he want to anyhow?
I learn something new almost every day with the blog. For instance I did not know La Grippe was a fancy, French term for Influenza. I had always thought it was a fancy French word for diarrhea. I am much the better person for this information.
Am I wrong or does it look like Ivory, NY was officially christened at a Post Office meeting in Valley Gate Farm on this day in 1898?
