Clippings from the Past

The history of Alexandria can be seen in news of the past, local and national, and how those events affected local residents. Many of us have memories stored away as clippings, and in scrapbooks. Here are a few highlights from my own repository. Click on any image to enlarge for better viewing. Visit the Retrospective again soon for more Clippings from the Past!
