@JasonIsbell I'm proud as hell that @JasonIsbell wrote #DecorationDay in my small (home) town of #Carbondale #Illinois.

@Mariners I would love to get in touch with Rick, he and I are both #salukis from @SIUC and we just started an official @SIUAlumni chapter in Seattle! Help please! 😁

@IllinoisPress @History_at_SU @Ndiginus1 @Beery_maps @ILHistory1818 It was a pleasure to again be published in the JISHS. It had been a minute!

@KoltenWong You are one of my all-time favorite @Cardinals and I am so excited to see you again now that we're both in Seattle. Welcome buddy!

[michaeltow @michael_tow]

@Mariners @KoltenWong @Brewers One of my all-time favorite @Cardinals that I'll now get to see again here in Seattle.

[michaeltow @michael_tow]

Not everyone's hating on you right now @RealPaulDeJong . Get right, buddy. We've seen you do it before and you will do it again.

@LukeEpplin Sounds a lot like Prairie Archives! I purchased a complete set of all that had been published by the St. Louis Browns Historical Society from them for my Joe Grace research.

Great piece of investigative journalism that sets the record straight on @Nirvana playing #Carbondale #Illinois on their first US tour in 1989.

I just this evening learned that the only American pilot to shoot down a Japanese Zero at #PearlHarbor, John Dains, had been a student at @SIUC . Wow.

This from the @NatlParkService Winter 1991 issue of Courier.
