Thank you to Matt Meacham of the Illinois Humanities Council for the Facebook shout out and for shining a focus on his roots in Randolph County and Les Amis’ efforts to preserve “Forgotten Illinois” history. Once again, we thank the Illinois Humanities Council for our “Forgotten Illinois” grant award. We appreciate the work of the SIUE IRIS Center, including Ben Ostermeier, for promoting our new publication and our book release event held last August.
