Bob's Story

From it's a small world dept that will especially appeal to anyone from Greenbrier; New neighbors move in and I go to meet them. Both have Chicago accents. The husband was raised in Hinsdale, the wife says Buffalo Grove. I ask her where in BG? She says on Huron. I tell her I don't know Huron in BG, but there's one in AH I know well. She said that's the one. Turns out she lived next door to the McGrath's and her older sister married John Veternik's little brother. (John stayed at Hersey, so many won't know him) Veternik's little brother worked in Secret Service, and if you knew John, this would be the LAST place you'd expect to see his brother. So 2 doors away there's another BG grad, class of '85. Wild How I came to California - Sitting in a bar with Tommy Lyons & another friend from college (we all went to Bradley) mid January 1985, it's -27 outside, and we're wondering how/why people live in the icebox called Chicago.

odged a cab that couldn't stop on a frozen street the night before & bit the sidewalk, so drinking beer was challenging. After a bit Tom comes up with this gem; "what are we doing here? We could be someplace warm & sunny, like San Diego!" Best idea I ever heard, & through the stitches I get out "Great idea! My lease is up in 6 weeks and I'm out of here". So I embarked on slimming down my possessions & headed to SD with my college buddy who was at the bar that night. Tom, who came up with the idea, stays in the NW 'burbs. Had to start over in SoCal, job, place to live, friends, all that. But I didn't have to shovel snow anymore! After a while I met a girl, another Midwest transplant, fell in love, got married, found a house, got a dog and started a family. 4 kids later we're not in the same house, but a mile up the hill from where we first started our brood, and on our 4th & 5th K9's. The picture is from my daughter's wedding in June.
