- Greg Ciesluk – Spring means baseball to him and following his favorite Boston team. Spring also makes him think about Easter Sunday – this year he will be celebrating in Massachusetts with family.
- George Wickstrom – reflected on the Spring of 1938 – George has memory of trying to go to the Snow White show with his family in Illinois. There was a bad snow storm that brought very deep snow. George recalled there being so much snow there was only one car width plowed on the roads in certain areas and they had to honk their horn to warn other motorists when going through that area.
