      I think it's nearer to you than anyone else here, thus it's near George.

      Yes, the pic is very cool!

            Sure did. From home addresses of either of us to downtown Pekin is 157 miles.

              I knew a girl from Pekin, IL. I did t realize it was that far from Chicago. I thought it was an outer burb.

              The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                            I lived in Pekin Illinois for several years when I was little. To be more specific, Creve Coer.

                                  Her last name was Jean.

                                  Education is extremely important.

                                      Her daddy had a small airplane and a landing strip in a field behind his house. He would take me and Gloria Jean up in it every once in a while.

                                        I remember that story from TOCR. I thought it was pretty neat.

                                        "Gloria Jean's Coffees was founded by Gloria Jean Kvetko in 1979 in Long Grove, Ill., a small town just outside Chicago."

                                        Long Grove is a suburb about 20 miles northwest of Chicago. Nice town.

                                          Might not be the same Gloria Jean then. Might be like your elephant story.... "it wasn't the same elephant"
