    ➜ Rob Le Cates, whose promotion to photo editor becomes official today. A 2025 Eastern Illinois grad, Rob’s done a wonderful job since joining our staff more than a year ago.

    In 2024, we hatched a plan to surprise our Forty Under 40 Man and Woman of the Year with the news of their achievement. Thanks to creative family members, co-workers and friends, it’s been a wonderful scene each time.

This week’s program kicks off at 10 a.m. and includes a chat with Springfield’s Paul and Joan Burns in Lot 31. Joan hasn’t missed a home game since 1974, when she was a freshman at the University of Illinois. The remarkable streak has survived several close calls, including last November’s blizzard against Northwestern. “The Snow Bow
