Nostalgia: it ain’t what it used to be
06.04.14
Back in 1979, the kids summer reading theme at the library was "Super Heroes Are Super Readers." The kids wrote letters to some celebrities of the day - their Super Heroes - and a lot of the celebrities wrote back. Twelve of those Super Hero letters have been preserved on Des Plaines Memory, the library's online local history and culture collection, including a letter from my former Super Hero, Bruce Jenner.
