First off, tomorrow, I’m off to Springfield, Illinois, to attend some cemetery-related events with fellow GYR Minda and other cemetery-enthusiasts. Before meeting up with them, I’m going to head to the state archives, which is conveniently open on the first Saturday of the month (well planned, Minda!!!). Here’s my to-do list for tomorrow:
