Greg's Story

This is an update as of September, 2016. I have lived in Naperville, Illinois for almost 40 years. Married to my wife for over 40 years. One daughter lives in Montgomery, Illinois. She graduated from North Central College in Naperville. One grandson (10years old) and one granddaughter (8 years old). One son graduated from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. He is single and lives in Naperville. Was Regional Director of Loss Control and Premium Audit for Sentry Insurance for 30 years and Corporate Supervisor of Loss Control at Frankenmuth Insurance for 10 years. I retired in 2008 and am loving it. I spend much of my time with the grandkids going to the museums, zoo and many other local sites that are now more f...Expand for more
un than ever. And, I go to Life Time Fitness (health club) several times a week. Mundelein High School recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of the school and our class of 1963 celebrated too. We had a trolley in the parade with banners, etc. I volunteer as a building interpreter at the Naper Settlement, an outdoor history museum. Come see me forge something at the Blacksmith Shop, tell about printing at the Print Shop, how to make lye soap at the Log House, or a tour of the Martin-Mitchell Mansion. More fun than a barrel of monkeys! And, I get to meet folks from all over the world. Also take many day trips with the Naperville Park District, including the Cubs game when they celebrated the division title. Go Cubs!

Mundelein HS 50th Celebration
Entrance to Ping Tom Memorial Park pagota on the Chicago River.  Our "gang" just got off the bus.  The huge industrial building in the background, across the Chicago River is an eyesore.  The rest is beautiful.
Funny picture in the museum.  Note the sign "danger, men cooking."  Maybe not funny if you were Chinese.

The Chinese came to Chicago after the "gold rush," and the completion of the cross continental railway (which was built with 70% Chinese labor)'
Chinese Puppet Show.
Dragon...from the rear.
Great bus, and driver, for this trip.  Very narrow streets in Chinatown.  This is outside the Chinese-American Museum of Chicago.
Lunch at the famous Phoenix Restaurant in Chinatown.  Lazy Susan on all the tables.  Plates of food to pass...till the cows come home.  No chicken feet...but everything else Chinese-American.  No cats or snakes!

On the left is the Chinese Pui Tak Center.  Formaly the On Leong Building.  This was the second Chicago location of the powerful On Leong Merchants Association.
