BTW, I read the piece and it's very well done. Not too "in depth" but with
a good timeline and some interesting characters for human interest/humor.
Just right for the casual visitor. All in all, well done.

I'm sure the U of I has a history department with graduate students
looking
for some topic to research and write a thesis.

Great idea!

My only concern is that it be written in a neutral, "just the facts" way.
It
is the "university crowd" that is in many ways behind the movement to
close
the airport -- so going to them for help could either be a stroke of
diplomacy -- or the kiss of death.
