Anyone have an account with newspapers.com? I'd like to read an article about Podesta's Uncle that I can only find there. ( pizzagate )

So I found out Podesta's Uncle William was a dentist in downstate Illinois and then found a random message board thread that claimed he was a not so well known pedophile that I posted here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1881572

Someone in the comments then discovered that William Podesta was wealthy enough to have donated land that became a well known Boy Scout camp called Podesta's Big Timbers.

Someone in the message board that I linked to mentioned the local paper doing a "glowing" article on William Podesta after he died, and that the reporter and Podesta had been good friends. I have found that article, here: https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/84770910/

You need to have an account with newspapers.com in order to access it, and yes, it has a free trial, but before I do that I just wondered if anyone already had an account. In all the seemingly random articles about people who are, at least suspected, of being pedos, I've noticed I can tell when the article is written by someone who seems to know they're "writing in the code", that might not be the case here, but I'm now curious and want to read the article with a suspicious eye.

If you do have an account there could you get access to that article and screen shot it for us?

You're awesome, thank you!

Don't desecrate the dead based on internet hearsay and nothing you can discover can reflect on John Podesta anyway. I'd hate to have an investigation of my ancestors to raise issues about me because I've heard rumors about some of them.

"Podesta's Big Timbers" ??

SHUDDER!

Yeah, wtf? And lots of boy scout leaders have been busted as pedos.

And he moved to Omaha Nebraska at some point in his life per the obituary.

Well fancy that. Omaha.

OMG. They have tried to pin things on the Rich family because they are from Omaha, but they were born there. For a Podesta to actually travel there on purpose is a reason to research.

That's not what I was talking about though. I'm talking about an entire article about the guy. He was seen as a "father of the community". Besides the Scout camp he was also important in the founding of the local community collage and other such things.
