Strange Reference Questions



Annually, I get requests for photographs of Don Tristan de Luna
and other famous local Spanish explorers who came to Pensacola
in 1559 and in 1698.

Yesterday I had a request for a newspaper called the Centennial.
I could think of no such paper.  Finally the person mentioned the town
of Gulf Breeze and then I remembered the "Sentinel" newspaper
from there.

And of course, we get requests all the time for the "old maps showing
where the Spanish buried their gold" or the treasure maps which clearly
indicate where West Florida pirates operated and where their caches
are hidden.

And finally, my fav phone request was "what time is the Easter sunrise
service?"
