Bill's Broadsides

POSTED:Thu, September 17, 2009 @ 0:54AM

Oddities from the photo vault!


Here I go again, pulling out some strange and mysterious photo negatives from the Leader's dusty archives ... (see photos at right; click to enlarge).

Do you have any vintage photos you'd like to share? Send me your old photos of local people (and potatoes shaped like them) as well as scenes and landmarks! Photos will be returned. Here's my info:

Bill Ackerbauer
Asst. city editor
The Leader-Herald
8 E. Fulton St.,
Gloversville NY, 12078


If you have digital versions of photos, you may send them to me via this new-fangled electro-mail at backerbauer@leaderherald.com.

Remind me of my mother-in-law again and she was no sweet potato.
