ANOTHER SOURCE FOR THE ARUBA ESSO NEWS

This afternoon, May 29, 2011 I stumbled across another source for copies of the Aruba Esso New.  The The George A. Smathers Library, a part of the Digital Library at the University of Florida has a large collection of the Aruba Esso News.  You can check it out by using the link below.
