Blessed with two great kids, Laurie a special ed teacher recently married and Tom a project mgr recently engaged. No grandchildren yet. For my undergrad I attended U of I Champaign for a couple years and then graduated from Elmhurst College with a degree in Business Management. Graduated from Loyola University with MA in Community and Organizational Development. Worked in Human Resources with Perkin-Elmer and Hewlett-Packard before my kids were born. Divorced my ex after 16 years of marriage, and returned to work in non-profits managing the food pantry in Naperville and then a social services oriented YMCA. Currently retired and living in a 55+ community enjoying the amenities. Still "hanging around" with Judy Rossi and Peggy Mixan and Eva Zakrzewski and visit with Sue Klein as much as I can.
