History

This week the D.A.R. will commemorate the 232nd anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States by the Constitutional Convention.

To be honest, the opening of Hannibal's bicentennial time capsule earlier this year was a bit of a bust.  Most everything concealed inside was water damaged.  Here's to a better outcome in 2069.

Why not re-locate the 9-11 display on the property where the Newcomb Hotel was? Think of the thousands of people who would get to see it at that location.

I was asked by the National Alzheimer's Association office in Chicago if I would submit my story as to why I will be at the Walk to End Alzheimer's in Quincy on Saturday, September 15th at Clat Adams Park. Here is that story.

It was one of those fires in Quincy that people who lived here in 2013 will forever remember. That fire was the 5-alarm Newcomb Hotel fire which happened 6 years ago today.

With just a couple days to spare, a fundraising campaign topped its $15,000 goal to paint this one-of-a-kind mural that reflects Hannibal's history.

The Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon used to be held during Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, it no longer exists.

For the fourth time this year, the Great River Honor Flight takes off this weekend on its mission to bring veterans to the nation's war memorials.

“Back to School.” Those were three little words I hated to hear when I was a youngster.

You'll experience a serious blast from the past in the latest Bicentennial event coming to Hannibal this weekend.  It's baseball that's so old-school, the players won't be wearing ball gloves.
