I was unable to find a copy of the item you mention as apparently Newspapers.com does not carry the Palo Alto Reporter. If you have a copy email it to the address found in the profile at the bottom of this page and I will add it to the profile page.<br /><br />It also tells us that the initials were “H P” and not “P H”!

Some newspapers were careless about correct name spelling, I have to believe he would have made sure his photo cover information was spelled correct. Don W. Bradley - Emmetsburg, IA.
