I was born and lived until 3rd grade on the South Side of Chicago (always use caps for this). Then I moved to Chicago Heights (which is where I consider having grown up) and went to college at Northern Illinois in DeKalb. Lived in Aurora for a while where I worked in radio after broadcasting school in the Loop, then moved to Las Vegas for a year, finally to the Portland area in 1971. Here ever since.
