The seemingly tireless work of Sue Byford, and the deep archives of her family’s business, keeps turning up wonderful old copies of the Town Cirer. The most recent one is from February 26, 1985 and carries a mother lode of fascinating local news. One familiar face that shines out of its pages is that of the late Art Cole, a Leaside resident whose career in journalism lasted many decades.
