(it sounded traditional and a little old-fashioned to us at the time)
but it made #1 nationally from 1994-2007.
The SSA lists by year, by state and nationally
It is true, I still read the HJ News - front page, local sports and
yes, I'm still reading the obituaries. Don't tell anyone at the Post ...
