Readers,
Starting in today's report "World and National News Digest reports" and every report I post from this time forward will feature a news video clip from local area meetings I attend. You can see these clips on my you tube channel, which I'll share the link to the video under each report's "Note Pad" section at the end of the usual daily postings Monday -Sunday. ---Peter Ripley Publisher.
