Emma's birthday is this upcoming Tuesday so we did a family road trip to Normal to take her out for lunch, restock her frig/cabinets with food, and hang out. I can't believe she graduates next month!
We got to see Union Pacific 4141, George H.W. Bush go through Rochelle the other night but the fog ruined our shots. So when we saw heritage unit reports this morning we jumped in the truck and headed south. Arriving in Bloomington we were unable to locate him. We headed south on 66 to Mclean but nothing there either. So we went back to check Bloomington. Thanks to a report from Illini Rail we found him holding at Normal. Apparently there was a broken rail and and they held him there to allow Amtrak by him. There was a lot of railfans there and I felt sorry for the heating and cooling company who's parking lot they took over. I know delivery trucks were having trouble getting in and out.
Organized 1876 at Ladoga as second private Indiana normal school specializing in teacher training. Based on Alfred Holbrook's techniques at his normal college in Lebanon, Ohio which pioneered teacher training in America. Central Normal College was moved 1878 to old Danville Academy building. The campus eventually consisted of five buildings.
Central Normal College, last self-supporting private normal school in Midwest, closed 1946. School reopened as Canterbury College by Episcopal Church; declining financial situation forced closure 1951. Alumni include many prominent Hoosiers. Hargrave Hall, gymnasium, and well house remain as part of Danville Middle School.

Grain, depending on how paper fibers are arranged during manufacturing, forms in a certain direction. normal bookmark is cut in a way that the grain runs along the length of the bookmark and when slotted into a book, is parallel to the spine. This allows the bookmark to flex as the pages are flipped, thus it does not interfere with reading and makes reading a more pleasant experience.
