Hey glennster - You're in Yorkville aren't you? Have to see if I can get up there some time. Used to go through the town when they were building the Illinois Math and Science Academy in Aurora back in the early to mid 80's. Nice town and I bet things haven't changed a bit in 20+ Years LOL.

Come to think of it, I bought a fairly new S-10 Blazer somewhere up there at that time but don't recall where. Truck musted been possesed as it did a nose dive into a lake, sideswiped a county bridge and a couple of excursions when they were builing I-155. Needless to say, I kept the local body shop here (Glen) on retainer!

If you get down to the Peoria area, give me a shout - might even buy lunch.

Im in the middle of you guys in Mendota/Troy Grove area. Small world aint it

acb,
Our company has been up to the Troy Grove area for a Verizon cell tower - has it sprouted yet?

I assume the 1950 means Oliver and not year of birth. Hope the glennster don't see this as I think his blood runs red.
