People get sentimental about the silliest things as they get older.
In Murl's case, such sentiments surround the fossilized remains of a prehistoric mastodon he accidentally unearthed as a teen-ager living southeast of Potosi 66 years ago. Now, with the great passage of time, he wants to know more about his find. Unfortunately, the old Reporter-News clipping on it has been lost by family members and efforts to learn what became of the fossils have come to naught. Murl is glumly considering perusing a hundred or so microfilmed copies of the Reporter-News at the library to find the clipping again. The team summoned to dig up the mastodon fossils carried the rest away.
