Letter: Missing obituary

Steve Wilson writes:

My brother died June 13. I saw his obit on here, but today I have looked several times it's not there, his name was David Harold Wilson.

Steve, thanks for writing. Late Thursday evening, a hard drive upgrade caused an outage at CM, and on Friday, our tech support was able to get a backup online with stories up through December 2023. On Sunday, we were able to restore all the articles prior to June 12, 2024, and we hope to have everything posted since then back online early this week. We've restored David's obituary this morning, Monday, June 24, 2024. --Pen
