From a city press release:
The Dan Fogelburg [sic] Sign Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, September 10, 2008, at 10:00 a.m., on the NE corner of Prospect and Frye (top of Abington hill).
Also, here’s the Journal Star article on the event.
Fogelberg, an East Bluff native who died at age 56 last December after a battle with prostate cancer, was a 1969 Woodruff High School graduate. Some of his music was inspired by encounters and experiences in the Peoria region.
Abington will get the honorary designation “Fogelberg Parkway.” I hope his name is spelled correctly on the sign, unlike the press release.
Let’s hope whoever is in charge of sending out the press release (with his name spelled incorrectly) isn’t also the one that requested the sign…….
Don’t worry. They spelled it correctly.
Can we put a wax likeness of him in the new museum? Oops…..what museum?
WHAT??? WHAT ABOUT FIBBER MCGEE AND MOLLY????
