tcastelaz@ironmountaindailynews.com Guy Forstrom, Menominee Range Historical Foundation Board treasurer and World War II Glider and Military Museum Manager Dianne Castelaz-Chiapusio look over a German metal can found while sorting through boxes that have long been in storage in Iron Mountain. This item, which contained a piece of paper with German writing, has stumped them so far. Forstrom plans to translate the German in hopes it will provide clues as to what it might be.

Q: Iâm looking for a needle in a haystack. I have an 83-year-old father who wants nothing more than to watch Lawrence Welk episodes 24/7. I have exhausted every possible means to find the entire Lawrence Welk series, color episodes only, from eBay, Amazon and so on â to no avail. I have only been able to find four episodes here and there. Can you possibly assist?
M.D.
Answer: The reason you can t find any Lawrence Welk DVDs is because they don t exist. Susie Dowdy, the publicist for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority, which has produced several Lawrence Welk specials said, âWe syndicate the series therefore no DVDs are available for purchase. Any found on the internet are made by fans and are illegal. We do have DVDs of our specials but those are few and only available through stations for a pledge of support.
