Mother’s June Picnic and Learn Something Plans
A Springfield notebook column recounts a mother’s humorous reflections on June as a month of weddings and barbecues. She contrasts her sleep needs with Major Gordon Cooper’s schedule, vows a “summer of learning” with family outings, and lists nearby free excursions such as Hawthorn Mellody Farm, McCormick Gun and War Museum, Olson Rug Company Water Fall, Grave Mill and Museum, O’Hare Field tours, and Mars Candy Company.
