The COVID-19 pandemic either delayed or scrapped commencements in 2020. But as infections finally begin to recede, ceremonies in the Evansville area this year will go forward with an array of precautions in place, such as limited tickets and social distancing.

Boyett: Union Station saw last passengers in 1971; first woman to run for mayor retired from city service same time
Frank Boyett
As April of 1971 came to a close so did two Henderson institutions.
The city of Henderson hosted an appreciation program for Margaret L. “Tardy” Nichols April 28 at what is now called The Gathering Place because she was retiring. The end of April also saw the last passenger trains stop at Union Station.
I wrote last June 7 about passenger service ending at Union Station, so I’m not going to dwell on that at length. I want instead to focus on Nichols, who probably has not been given full recognition for the roles she played.
