Hey-dy, (it's my day to be perusin' the papers...) Springfield News-Leader is posting obituaries online now. There is also an excellent section about "Progress 2000" and "Preservation Springfield", 2 groups working to define Springfield by past and present for the future. (Sound familiar?) Paul Flemming, in today's edition, has a column about the demolition of his former 114 yr old home that brought tears to my eyes...are all genealogists/historians as deeply moved as I am by this stuff?
