I picked up a piece of local history again today. I found the Bodines "corner card" with a 2 cent small banknote on it. The Bodines was a prominent name in Jersey Shore, Pa history and I've been all over the Bodine mountains as a child. I got this for .99 cents this morning. I'm happy with it overall.
