Ever since I got my first GPS device, I have been fascinated with creating routes and exploring the territory. As a member of a motorcycle club I now find that I have the opportunity to desing and lead a few rides each year. In 2009 I will be leading an Illinois and Michigan Canal Corridor Ride along with a Fox River Ramble. More to come later as I create a website to present these tours.
I was asked to judge a history fair for 8th grade students and was assigned to the Documentaries section. Along with two other judges we viewed a series of ten minute video productions about a Chicago personality. Topics ranged from Harold Washington, Muddy Waters, Leonard Chessman, and various local politicians. I was extermely impreessed by the work these kids produced and look forward to juding another event.
