I think that was thing 24 not thing 1. I'm confused.

Thing 1

I tried the Google Alert. I searched Farah Fawcett cause it was the first thing I thought of. I was receiving more than 10 alerts a day so I cancelled that. But it was a cool way to find info.
I also tried twitter. Our library is so small-there was nothing about our town even. But I will try again!
