at the selection. On Channel 8 Irv Coppi and Virginia Marmaduke hosted a weekend show on Channel 8. They showed classic black and white movies. I liked watching them especially ones with Ronald Reagan in them. I will share pieces of Franklin County history at times on this page. I do not know the date on this. The article was circulating on social media last night. To read the story click on the link from royaltonillinois.com sd
