Welcome to the White City - Chicago in 1890-1893.
It's been a while since I've written a review, as my wife had an emergency back surgery and an extended stay in the hospital that has kept me busy doing other things than writing.

Wendy Daugherty is the winner of the "write a caption contest." Her entry for this photo taken from a 1970-era Ada High School year book follows: "Still 2 players short to field a team."
She wins a 2-item, 16-inch 3 Brothers Family Pizza. Watch the Icon for the next pizza contest.
This Covid-19 question video series is in cooperation with Ada SAFE 2020. The series is the collective work of experts, community leaders, organizers, parents, and members of the community.
The question is: "Why do healthy kids need to wear masks?”
In the accompanying video, Dr. Anna Kauffman, MD, a physician in Family Medicine and practices in Bluffton, responds.
She received her MD from Yale University School of Medicine and completed a residency in family medicine at the VCU Shenandoah Valley Family Practice Residency Program.
