About me

I would like to think of myself as a communicator, who uses writing as a medium. I knew I was a writer when it occurred to me that the first thing I do every morning is turn on my computer. Only then does my day begin.

An Illinois native, I have written for various daily and weekly newspapers about local issues for more than 20 years. My first story was published in 1988. In addition to being a reporter/editor I have also done some ghost writing, editing, public relations work, and photography.

My web page is located at: http://www.ozarkattitude.com

The push for a new airport to supplement O'Hare and Midway airports began more than two decades ago. Whether a new airport is needed remains a question unanswered, except by common sense. Illinois Gov. Patrick Quinn recently announced his support for a new airport near the small town of Peotone, about 40 miles south of downtown Chicago. He proposed spending $100 million to buy land. Quinn's push for a new airport is not new. In fact nearly every Illinois governor since 1968 has given lip service to the proposal, yet the political will has never been enough to push the project to fruition. ...
