DEAR SUN SPOTS: My mother left me a tablecloth that was supposedly made from a military parachute from one of the World Wars, probably WWII. I’d like to confirm her story but haven’t had much luck.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Again I need your help or possibly from a reader of your column. Until the closing of D & R Framing on Cross St. in Auburn, I had no problem having my framing done, but now I do. My question is, do you know if they relocated? If so, where and how […]
