I started this website in 2007. For the first four years, I overwrote the news on the home page every day. I now regret the loss of that archival material. In 2011, I switched to WordPress, and every day's news was saved into an archive. When I rolled out my new website earlier this year, I was able to bring along the archive, so I now have 13 years worth of Golden news saved!
Last night I was reviewing the doings of November, 2011. I thought you might enjoy reading some highlights:
