We're still in our fledgling stages of video production, with Photo Chief Dan Evans leading the way.

Ultimately, we're planning to have all news staff trained and posting videos.

In the meantime, Dan and others are doing some fine work.

Witness the video, posted today, on James and Margaret DeBoard, a local couple, in their 90s, who love singing and performing.

I found this video absolutely charming - and inspirational. Hope you do, too.
