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.
