text: why not a statue of clint eastwood?  he logged out of springfield way back....Huey Lewis drove delivery truck  ...  heck... why not Ernest Hemingway? i'm sure he passed through oregon at some point.  how about go big or go home ?- Abraham Lincoln lived in Springfield !!! for $$$ sakes..
    heck,  people don't know history - bet eugene could make it fly... Eugene Oregon, Home of Abraham Lincoln.  yup.
