It was a pleasure to speak with Margaret Hay Van Damn (The River Love). Her love story for mature readers is now in audio, read in her own rich voice. Some will remember that her father, George Hay, established the Grand Old Opry.
Marjorie Lynn Heaton. At the age of 80, compiled an extraordinary 2-volume history of her family. The first, Dear Family, traced her family from 1780's England to Iowa through the 1920's; the second, Sugar From Lettuce, took up the journey through the decade of the 1930's. Now in her 90's, Marjorie is still light-hearted, busy, and continues to write.

Press Release: Lincoln Poems at Decatur Public Library
Dr. Dan Guillory, Professor Emeritus of English at Millikin University, will present another reading from his recent book, The Lincoln Poems, at 2:00 PM in the Madden Auditorium of the Decatur Public Library on Sunday April 19, 2009. April is National Poetry Month, and Professor Guillory will focus on poems that have not been previously performed at the Library. Copies of his book will be offered for sale after the reading.
The Lincoln Poems was one of only 21 books from across the country chosen for presentation at the National Lincoln Bicentennial Celebration in Springfield on February 12, 2009. Before the poetry reading, Dr. Guillory will share his impressions of that special day, including the Bicentennial Banquet, where President Obama spoke briefly. Dr. Guillory will also have on display some of the artifacts he collected on the Bicentennial day, including Lincoln “First Day of Issue” stamps and envelopes, a Lincoln coffee mug, the Bicentennial Banquet menu, and other items of interest.
In partnership with Melody Arnold and Brent Wielt of the Macon County Conservation District, Dr. Guillory presented an all-day Lincoln workshop for Macon County schoolteachers on March 21, 2009. The day was very successful, according to the evaluations. The teachers went in three vans on a tour of Lincoln sites in and around Decatur. The workshop will be repeated on Wednesday June 10, 2009.
An audiobook of Dr. Guillory's The Lincoln Poems will soon be released by Mayhaven. Dr. Guillory has signed another contract with Mayhaven for a new book entitled People and Places in the Land of Lincoln.
