The Swanborn Family Will Have Their Words Re-instated by the Chicago Tribune
Published September 11th, 2008I just received notice from Ken Swanborn’s widow, Janet, that the Tribune will reprint his death notice this Sunday with the line, “In lieu of flowers, vote democratic” reinstated. Ellen Glassberg of the Tribune said that she regretted the error, and Janet Swanborn graciously accepted her apology.
The Huffington Post also picked up the story:

This is good news.
My gratitude to you (thanks for fixing my typo, too!)and Janet for the Vigilance.
Somewhere Emma Goldman dances, Joe Hill organizes, and Grace Paley is baking cakes and Stopping Wars.
