A visit to Springfield, MA

Earlier this year I had a chance to visit Springfield, MA - founded by my 9th-Great Grandfather, William Pynchon.  I had a chance to visit Pynchon Park, and view two murals of him.  Very few of my ancestors have left a visible mark like Grandfather Pynchon did - and I'm not likely to leave behind any statues or murals to my memory.  But the collected choices and decisions of our ancestors have brought us each to the points where we are today - and I'm grateful for each of them.
