                    [Summary] => This column today misses The FREEMAN centennial edition by a day. But then, as all strange things go, coming out as the paper turns a hundred and a day old isn't such a bad thing after all. In fact, with all the serious stuff behind us now, maybe it is time for a few laughs, about ourselves here in The FREEMAN, that many do not know about.
