Here's some photos from a couple of years ago when I spoke in Carl Sandburg's hometown of Galesburg, Illinois. Copies of the photos will be available in the gift shop after the tour is over. ![Big Grin Big Grin](https://rogerjnorton.com/LincolnDiscussionSymposium/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
The reason for the trip. I presented the paper on the friendship between Sandburg and James G. Randall that I had given at the Conference on Illinois History the previous year.
