Blizzard, flu, and snow headlines

Dolores Rodriguez with the Wilson County News saved this copy of the San Antonio News from the day her daughter was born in 1978. Can you believe it only cost 15 cents? Check out the headlines: “Killer blizzard freezing East,” “Russian flu hits cadets,” and “Snow in Texas.” The News was self-labeled as “The most exciting newspaper in America!” Readers are invited to share memories of the past.
