This is so interesting to me! Shorty Fincher was my Great Uncle, I have a photo of him in Alabama at my Grandfather and Grandmother's house. I would love to know more about him, can you help me with this? My Grandparents have been gone for a long time, would like to find out more. Thanks!
Angela, The York County Heritage Trust and particularly archivist Lila Fourhman-Shaull had an exhibit on Valley View Park a couple of years ago. That would be the richest repository of information on Shorty. lfourhman-shaull@yorkheritage.org.
Feel free to email me your photo of Shorty; I'd like to post on yorktownsquare.com.
Thanks,
Jim McClure
