We have received some really nice donations towards our "Wish List." I have a special request. I am still looking for early editions of the Tampico Tornado newspaper - anything before 1927. We have most years, but we are missing scattered issues. Please check you atticks, garages, barns and basements - watch at garage sales, or estate sales. We also need early editions of the P-town Echo or Spike (1850s-1950s). Thank you so much. Please note that the HY&T video is now only availabe as a DVD. It is the same price of $20+ s/h. Thank you. For those who have asked - the Tampico Centennial Year Books are available on 2 CDs. They also include two indexes - One for photos and one for articles. Price is $15+ s/h. http://www.tampicohistoricalsociety.citymax.com/Gift_Shop.html Once again, I can't thank all of you enough that have taken the time to donate your time, expertise, photos, money and all the great info submitted. It is so appreciated by so many people all over the world! YOU are what continues to make our website one of the best out there. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Here's to another fabulous year!
