I have found a purpose, perhaps more of an excuse, for this obsessive DM reading. As I come across articles about ghost towns, I've been checking in at the
http://www.ghosttowns.com/ site, looking up the town, and seeing if the DM article would benefit that site's often truncated info on said town. So far I've sent Ghostowns.com thirteen links to the Scribd link for the DM issue. Finding an article about Shakespeare, New Mexico, August 1949, where this man and his daughter have bought the town, and are the last living residents, is really quite a hoot. Also, having an article about the birth of Eagle Mountain California in the June 1966 DM, and now it being a ghost town, is first-hand history, as much as reading the Tombstone Epitaph.
I'm up to August 1967, but I've discovered I'm missing August 1965 and '66. I guess I'm going to have to read them at Scribd.
