I have run across a number of copies of the newspaper, Dog Town Dispatch.
It seems to have operated mainly in 1983. I have a number of copies in my library/archives and I offer special things to Anna Zeeck Rau for them. Her daughter Jo Wahlmann found them among her mother's papers after she had died. Mrs. Wahlmann donated them to my archives in her mother's name.
Below is the list of issues I know of and have seen. If you know of others I would like the bibliographic citation and a few words about the key "history" content of the issue. And, of course, I'm always wanting to add issues themselves to my archives.
