You should be ashamed of yourself - remember that you were once a proud Chicagoan like me - I half expect you to refer to that tall building downtown as the “Willis Tower” - Egad!
I believe terms such as “Chicagoland”, “Metroplex”, “Tri-State Area” “HillCountry Weather (from Austin, TX)” were created by traffic and weather broadcasters. Given PCs, phones, tablets and connected cars, who needs , or uses, weather and traffic reports. These terms can be retired.

So many great memories of Kenilworth Union Church and Dr. Bowen. Tim and I were married there and all 3 of our kids were baptized there! As I recall, the rummage sale was always on one of the Jewish holidays in September so the HS students who had that day off from school could work at the sale!
I also remember your Bach sweatshirt well. Didn’t you cut the sleeves off at one point?
The Chicago Bears, unfortunately, get many of their players from rummage sales.
Bill, nice work, again. Did you wear the sweatshirt to Cubbies games and to your travels throughout Chicagoland?
BTW Eric Mataxas’s Bonhoeffer book is a great read.

When in doubt I default to Rule #3.

Rule No. 3 is one of my favorite rules - kudos to you for embracing it.

I think the sleeves may have fallen off during the disintegration process.
