Second Chronicle article


A second article by Terry Judd ran in the Muskegon Chronicle immediately following our meeting last week. I'm so thankful people recognize this is newsworthy! A few highlights from the article:

On Friday, a committee organized through the library considered several ways to honor McCay, including:

• Approaching the state about a possible historic marker for McCay in the village.

• Using a small park to the west of the library that was the site of McCay's Union School for a McCay tribute -- possibly a statue of Gertie the Dinosaur that could be used as a playground structure.

• Establishing a scholarship in McCay's name that could be administered through a local foundation.

• Gathering historical McCay documents for a permanent collection at the Spring Lake District Library.
