From practically the day you started these fantastic Day by Days (thank you, Lizzie, for all the work you do on these - they are a FL treasure), I've been thinking about December 7th still being in the future and how it would feel to read it somewhat like the way people in '41 did. Following these papers day by day is an interesting way to experience history.
Allow me to second that Lizzie, we really do appreciate the work that must go in to this. I look forward to it daily.
I've been waiting for this day to come - it's hard to grasp that this was the only real source of daily news at the time. Now the news is old by the time the papers come out - assuming they still exist, and we're likely too see live footage as it happens.
When my grandmother passed away we found the original Boston Globe and Boston Record (I think it was the Record?) front pages from this date. No one ever knew she had them. Unfortunately they weren't stored properly, and pretty much disintegrated at being touched.
