Scopes Trial[edit]

I saw that you had not had a welcome and I will say welcome again. I reverted the edit because it was in first person and unresourced. Perhaps you could include it in the article talk page. Has an interview with your grandfather ever been published or included in a web site? If so, you could resource an entry that way. Thanks.--Dakota ~ ε 06:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC) Don't understand the reference to my grandfather. He, Dennis Foley, died in Lead, Dakota Teritory, in 1889. If it is not clear, I personally attended the week long sessions of the Scopes trial, and shook the hands of Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan. Wikipedia is a curious operation, in that it apparently will not accept primary sources, such as my observations at the trial/[reply]
