Springs said she wanted to revive the practice of remembering Lennon.
"He really tried to say something and do something," she said. "He didn't just say go out and party and dance and get drunk. There is more to life. He wanted us to know that."
Yesterday in New York, Yoko Ono and Lennon's sons, Julian and Sean, left a note in Central Park's Strawberry Fields for fans who came to pay homage to Lennon.
"Thank you for thinking of John today. Have a nice life! Love, Yoko,
Juan & Sean." the message read.
'Lennon's music was emotional. It wasn't just peace. It was jealousy, anger, fear and hatred. Emotion.

Fans of Lennon gathered at the memorial to him that is across the street from the Dakota apartment building where he was killed by Mark David Chapman.
Lennon was walking to the entrance way of the Dakota shortly before 11 p.m. Dec. 8, 1980, when a voice out of the darkness asked, "Mr. Lennon?" He turned and was shot five times by Chapman.
Lennon died a short time later. He was 40 years old.

The free-state men attacked, and the Battle of Black Jack ensued into the afternoon. Reuben A. Randiett, a free-state man who came to Kansas in March 1856, arrived at the battle scene and witnessed the surrender of Pate's troops.
When Pate's force surrendered, Brown's men found two free-state men tied hand and foot and lying on the edge of a ditch where they had been placed by Pate's men as breastworks, Randlett said in a 1906 interview.
No one died at the Battle of Black Jack. One unfortunate ruffian, Milton McGee of Kansas City left the battle a changed man, however. As he jumped onto his horse to escape, a rifle ball struck
The bullet carried away the saddle horn, and in doing so, carried it between the man's legs, castrating him as clean and well as could have been done by any surgeon, Randlett said.
The bones in the arms of one of Brown's sons were shattered when he picked up a loaded rifle from the wrong end, Randlett said.

Brown and Shore took Pate and 28 men prisoner, but U.S. troops with orders to arrest Brown came and liberated them. Brown was not arrested, however, because the warrant either was misplaced or stolen.
"Anyway they didn't have the warrant, so Brown wasn't arrested." Littere said.

John Brown answered the raid with his infamous "Pottawatomi Creek Massacre." Five proslavery men were hacked to death with swords by Brown and his cohorts.
The pro-slavery border ruffians, under Deputy Marshal H. Clay Pate, went on to plunder Palmyra, a town that was immediately north of today's Baldwin City.
They took three prisoners in the raid. One of them, a minister named Moore, was a vehement teetotaler. The ruffians propped his mouth open with a funnel and filled the astonished clergyman with whiskey.
They moved on to the now-vanished Prairie City, which they sacked June 1.

Agriculture noted serious deficiencies in the animal care unit.
John Mulder, director of animal resources, said that although improvements had been made in the unit to comply with federal standards, it would not be accredited until it moved to a new building.
Clawson said, "At the present, we're in a position with the federal agencies that they say we are making satisfactory progress to solve the issues."
he said, part of $9 million in federal grants could be lost. A letter to the Med Center from the USDA offices warned that the animal care unit must work toward accreditation.
"The letter said, 'It's later than you think,' and that's a direct quote," Clawson said.
Keith Nicher, director of University business affairs, said Shields' recommendations did not necessarily reflect what Carlin would suggest to the Kansas Legislature, which will reconvene in January.
