Every Wednesday morning, a group gathers at the Dickinson County Museum to find a seat and shoot the breeze.

The hot topic? Old news.

These devoted few meet at 10 a.m. every week to share memories of lakeside concerts, childhood fishing spots and the gravel roads that crisscrossed a landscape now dotted with bustling housing developments.

For one hour each week, 15-20 participants — mostly retirees — trade stories that might otherwise fade away with time.
