A most excellent article just came out about my favorite little towne. I had a fun time with the writer from BusinessWest, Joe Bednar, with whom I spent part of an afternoon with a few weeks ago trumpeting how great Deerfield is. At one point I took him outside of […]
Nathan smiles for the camera, but sister Sofie is a little wary pictured in her party dress.
Last night we were amazed to see the change in the score. Suddenly, the Cardinals looked like they might squeak it out. We all watched as the Steel Curtain went down. Wow! I have good memories of my visit last June to this small city of just 400,000 with with […]
