Seeking "History of Beaverdam"
Searching for a book called the History of Beaverdam. The book was written in the late 1970s as Bluffton Elementary English class project. The teacher was . Almira Downey. I am looking for an original, but a photo copy of the book would be fine. Mrs. Downey lost her copy during a move and would like a copy for her collection. Please call 419-235-2230.

ZB license plate question
I came across a response to a reader's letter regarding Ohio license plates from the past. My 1962 Lincoln Continental arrived with the original 1962 license plates mounted, with the characters ZB.51, can you share any information about what "ZB" stands for? Region in Ohio? Is the "51" referring to a county code i.e. Marion? Many thanks. Contact: [email protected].
