Springfield today</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Today’s pit stop party in Springfield was simply wonderful.
We toured the history museum and briefly learned about the local history and
about Route 66 and the businesses that it developed. We then made our way to
Pappy’s Place Restaurant. We met Dan O’Rourke, and he gave us an update on how
his trip is going. After some brief remarks by Springfield Chapter
President Janice Grisham and affiliate President Shelia Wright, we heard from
the guest of honor himself. We then heard the reading of a proclamation by the
Mayor of Springfield proclaiming August 27, 2023, as Dan O’Rourke day. We were
then treated to some great music, including a rendition of the song Get Your
Kicks on Route 66.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I was able to attend this event because of the generosity
of Bill and Amy Wilson who hosted me at their home on Saturday night, and then
drove me down to Springfield. I was supposed to catch the train going from
Warrensburg to Kansas City at 7:14 pm. Upon learning that the train would be
delayed more than 1 hour due to a freight train accident, they decided,
without complaint, that they would just drive me home. I am grateful every day
for my NFB friends. <o:p></o:p></P>
