Yorkblog posts from the past: Bloggers love it when a post from the past raises interest in the present.
Such was the case when Yorkblogger’s Joan Concilio - from over at Only in York County (No. 1 blog in the state, among medium size newsrooms, btw) – received this note from Jim Croker:
“I want to thank you for posting the picture of James Alonzo Stahle. He is my 3rd Great Grandfather and it was a great pleasure coming across the article on the web. Thank you again!!”
Joan informed me of this moment:
“This was kinda fun – feedback I got today from an early 2011 post of mine.”
