This is the earliest newspaper clipping in the archive, predating Dick's birth on December 16, 1928 by over a year. The Washington Post was the major newspaper for the nation's capital, where Dick's parents Joseph Edgar Dick and Dorothy Kindred Dick were living at the time. Dick was born in Chicago but his parents had ties to the Washington, D.C. area. This pre-birth clipping may document Dick family activities or the social milieu of his parents before his arrival, making it a potential genealogical or biographical source.
