Ron Pritsch’s Legacy — The lead story in last week’s Springfield Press concerned the gift bequeathed by writer and anthropologist Ron Pritsch to the Springfield (Pa) Library.
The money was used to replace the 48-year-old circulation desk with one more suitable for the computer era.
Ron died Jan. 19, 2009 of a heart attack which was quite unexpected. He was either 55 or 56.
I knew Ron. He was a fine writer and a decent man and the community still mourns his passing.
The Springfield (Pa) Post Office is moving from the Brookside Road site where it has sat for decades to a shiny new, much smaller spot in Olde Sproul Village on Baltimore Pike that was once Baja Fresh burrito joint. The satellite office in the Springfield Mall is being closed.
Call it progress in this Obama progressive era — higher cost and less convenience. OK, if you live in Swarthmore it will be more convenient.
U.S. Postal Service officials say the move will occur in July or August.
