I'm new here and don't know anything about the Dawson fellow a lot of you are discussing. I was doing some research on other people (that's how I happened upon this site) and ran across this information, I'd like to share here. I think it's interesting and believe you will to. It's an old newspaper article about Willie Dewitt Dawson, dated April 30, 1085. Just copy and paste into your browser.
