Dang, I'd like to read it but when I open the thumbnail, for a few seconds a large print copy comes up that's readable, then it switches to a full view of the column that's unreadable. Any suggestions?

What is your web browser? If IE6, put the cursor on the lower right of the pic, and it will show a box with arrows on it. click and it will make it full size. If IE7, your cursor on the pic will show a magnifying glass with a + in the middle. Click and it will show full size.

Go to tools -> internet options -> advanced, scroll halfway through the window to "Multimedia" and deselect "enable automatic image resizing" to make your browser stop doing this all the time.

Checking the Daily Star (a central New York Newspaper) here is their obit for Daniel Porter.

He married Joan J. Dornfeld on Nov. 22, 1958, in Madison, Wis.
He received a BA from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, 1952; MA in history from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1956.
He was a sergeant in the United States Army Ordinance Corps 1952-1954 and served in Korea.
He was a lifelong museum and historical agency administrator and professor, serving as director of the Historical Society of York, Pa. Director of the Ohio Historical Society and the Executive Director of the Preservation Society of Newport County, Rhode Island.

I liked the other one better.
