The author of this piece is a coggitey old fart who should have retired years ago.

In any case, Mauch Chunk no longer needs Jim Thorpe's remains. If his body is moved, the monument and the name of the town would remain. It is a great town with much to see and do.

It comes down to federal law regarding the remains of Native Americans triumphs the contract that the town signed with Jim Thorpe's widow.
