Letters to Mother Burg 2007

Dear Mother Burg,

My daughter came upon this site and sent it to me. We only lived there for 12 1/2 years, but they were so memorable. My husband was transferred there in 1963. We had 3 little ones, and by July of the second year there, we had 4 kids under 4. Six years later had another little girl. We remember going to Lake Storey, Lake Bracken for the fireworks, and to celebrate a very special occasion, “Harbor Lights”. The kids remember kiddieland fondly. We made to trips to the St. Louis Zoo, to a ball game in Chicago. In one year, I was chairman of our church’s sodality, where we made and delivered cakes to students at Knox College. We were transferred back to Denver in 1985, but Galesburg will always have a place in our hearts.

And I'm sure I will remember more for a later time. 

I live in Houston but born and raised in Galesburg. I am trying to get back there to live but working conditions make that difficult. Nevertheless, I plan to make it happen. I just took a quick look at the Zephyr and intend to take a serious look when I have some free time. This seems VERY interesting. I look forward to more. Thank you. Margie Landow
