@brenda "Near George?"
It's over 150 miles!
But the pic is cool!
I think it's nearer to you than anyone else here, thus it's near George.
Yes, the pic is very cool!

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.
