If it were on an episode of “Antiques Roadshow,” a French doll and her clothing, newly on display at the Discovery Center, would definitely be a “find.” The doll, dating from about the 1850s, has exquisite hand-made finery, which sparked the concept of children’s “fashion in Paris,” a doll appraiser told the museum.

Tuesday night we lost the compressor on our walk-in freezer.

To the editor: Thank you for the editorial called “A Matter of Propriety and Perception.” I, too, felt that Bill Dick was out of place to ask for more funding for the Discovery Center.

More tax dollars going for this mistake and Discovery Center has been a drain on all taxpayers.
