Biographical / Historical

This Covid newspaper clippings collection was presented to David Owings at a luncheon at Spring Harbor in Columbus on June 9, 2021. Lucille M. Lambert, a resident of Spring Harbor, had started cutting articles out of the newspaper on March 17 when the state and local governments had declared a lockdown on individuals living in senior living facilities. Spring Harbor closed the community dining rooms and all group activities were cancelled. Lucille decided to end her project on March 31, 2021. She hopes that these articles will be of interest to future generations.
