Daily News for Sunday, December 22, 2019
Letter: Thanks to readers for more of the story Scott Spires writes: Was surprised and pleased Wadlow's visit to Columbia is remembered and shared. Especially to younger people who probably didn't know about this part of Columbia history. Also Wadlow was so big the passenger side front seat of the car he rode in was removed where he could sit in the back seat. Peters shoe company was bought out by International Shoe Company. The names were interchangeable.Comments re article 108077 Mr Wadlows visit 1939 2019-12-22 18:35:54 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Christmas celebrated together at the Polly Barn By Linda Waggener A very Merry Christmas evening was hosted by the Glens Fork United Methodist and Beach Grove Separate Baptist churches. Dinner and the Christmas play delighted those in attendance at the early December, 2019 event held in the Polly Barn in Glens Fork, KY. Laura Brummett, director, wrote, "We would like to thank each and everyone who came to the barn to be a part of this Christmas worship service.

Two day's after the visit, the News printed an article headlined "Thousands See Giant at Lerman Bros. Monday," excerpted here in part: "The world's tallest man, Robert Wadlow, proved an attraction which drew one of the largest crowds ever assembled on the Columbia Public Square when he appeared at the Lerman Bros. store Monday afternoon. . .Previously on CM: Robert Pershing Wadlow, The Gentle Giant 2019-12-22 05:11:45 | Comments | Printable version
