A
New Twist to the Y2K Problem [http://lenconnect.com/articles/1998/11/21/news1.txt]
The Y2K problem, in its far-reaching proportions, did not exclude
a tiny cemetery in southern Michigan. It all began in 1960 when Harold
Durling died unexpectedly. His widow purchased a gravestone to mark
his burial site. Her side of the marker was engraved "1894-19__."
Fast-forward to 1998, and Grandma Lottie Durling was showing no signs
of being buried anytime soon. (End note: Fit as a fiddle 'til she
died of an infected toe, we respectfully buried our beloved Lottie
in her 107th year, January 2001.) |
