Henry County native and former Galesburg-area sportscaster Beau Spencer (Thompson) has realized quite a dream.  Almost six years ago, Beau set out, in his continued quest to collect baseball cards, to turn that into collecting one million cards of members of one specific team:  the Chicago Cubs.  A few weeks ago, the dream was realized in the most spectacular of ways.

Beau talked about the effort with Will Stevenson on Galesburg's Morning News.
