carl sandburg, galesburg, IL

plans today call for seeing the carl sandburg home in Galesburg, IL, about 2 hours from Iowa City. also want to find where emerson hough is buried, sounds like it is nearby.
   having continental breakfast was delightful. saw a classmate who recognized me and we sat down for a little while, then he had to hit the road to give a speech in Harlan. the waffle attendant, not used to seeing one as I am used to making my own waffle, spoke of knowing elvis Presley when serving in the military in Germany. among other things, like a grand-niece in Chicago-land that was interested in his time as an entertainer, tap dancing I think.
