Wm. Kip's Story
School & work:
'75 Univ of Illinois grad
'64-'86 corporate officer-Miller Lumber
'80-'10 Social services management (Centralia)
Currently: single, semi-retired,
and living in Centralia.
I have two wonderful adult children (Danielle & Will) and one grandson who is keeping me young! I am now "K-pa".
I enjoy my trips to Chicago to see my daughter and her Doodle. (dog) Chicago offers me a chance to see and hear jazz at various locations with many of my favs playing at CSO. Chicago's architecture is amazing too. From the private (bootleg) houses Frank Lloyd Wright designed in the Oak Park-River Forest area to the downtown architecture that came about as a result of rebuilding the downtown after the great Chicago fire. And, from Chicago's "Second City" comedy to the Art Institute there's plenty to do!
My son and his family live in Centralia so I see my grandson quite often. My grandson just turned 3 Feb '17 so he is very active and is a joy a minute!
