About me: Native Chicagoan -- born 1948. Ancestry: Irish, British, Dutch, German, Spaniard, French. Lived in Northbrook, IL, 1950-1979. Fifth-grader at Meadowbrook School, Northbrook, December 1, 1958. Have also lived in Evanston, IL; Boston, MA; Traverse City, MI; currently in Huntsville, AL. Former music major. Published freelance op-ed writer, 1990-1992. Self-employed since 1996 -- chiefly in résumé-writing, transcription, and freelance editorial projects. Impressionable -- transfixed by OLA disaster. For details, see PERSONAL STORIES section, ID 117, entered October 4, 2003. My own life's testing times have forced me to draw nearer to God and His Son, Jesus Christ. This has been my lifeline. I could not hope to deal with the sorrows of earthly life in my own strength.
