Personal

My wife and I enjoy travel and good eating. Trips to Italy provide both of these. We enjoy our four children and six grandchildren whom we frequently visit at their homes in Chicagoland. When I finally retire, I hope to read some of the many books piling up on my bookshelves and bedside table.
