In the spirit of the season and for hundreds of Grimes (now Honeywell) present and former employees, here is the cover of the Grimes Times in 1985. It shows a youngster waving his shovel — who has spelled out in the snow a message to the aircraft pilot – “Merry Christmas.” This was submitted by former UDC editor and former Grimes Times editor Mike Sullivan, who now lives in Springfield with his wife Pamela – who has worked in Urbana for several years. The art on the cover was a great painting done by former Grimes employee Tom Wilson, who was named the Grimes art contest winner a month earlier.
