A few weeks back I noticed that The Fox Valley Aero Club was going to have an airshow. I have always been curious to attend one of these events and never have…until now. I would like to tell you about my memorable day. First some background…My father, Herman Martens, is in early stages of Alzheimers Disease.

During January 1942 ...

I was reminded of these thoughts last week. I’d like to tell you about a “great weekend” I spent one evening last week. My wife Barb and I live in Geneva just west of Randall Road in ...
