Recently, we traveled to Chicago. A trip back to visit Olivia and CJ in Oak Park. Our stay at the Carlton allowed us to see Olivia's new place of work, the Marion Street Cheese Market. A cute little place in the new location across from the Green Line Station.
Wine in the shop, could hardly choose!Liv squeezes blood oranges for her mimosas for a Sunday Morning Brunch.
A great series of Cheeses and an excellent wine means we hope to visit again soon.

Phil and I got to experience more snow in one night than we had experienced in two winters in New Mexico. At least we didn't have to shovel it! Our visit to Chicago was much too short for friends, but long enough to get a taste of what we don't quite miss.Our night at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo met with more family. Dad, Jim Duncan Sr., was invited to Western Michigan University's Hawthorn College of Business to deliver the Distinguished Speaker's Series Speech. Family gathered to celebrate this event and enjoyed his presentation of the History of Banking and specifically, Credit Cards.
The following email came after I got home:

Subject: Jim Duncan's Sr. Visit to Kalamazoo
Thanks to all of you who came back to Kalamazoo and WMU's campus to see and hear your father. He was terrific and we have received many positive comments from the community and from folks here at WMU.
His talk is available on-line for anyone who was not able toattend. Please share the address: http://www.wmich.edu/business From there you will see his picture(updated) and the link. You are welcome back anytime. It was great meeting all of you.
I hope you will consider reviewing his speech. We were made to feel very welcome and it helped me to see why Dad is such a respected member of the Banking Community and has earned an important part in the history of Banking and that of Kalamazo, Michigan. Our thanks to the Students, Faculty and Deans of the school for making Jim Duncan Sr.'s family feel so welcome.
It was great to see Dad, Debbie Wyantt, Jim Jr., Chris, Erica, Becky, Dan, Sue and Mark, Anita and John. Many of Dad's colleages and bank family members turned out to celebrate this event. It was clear to me, just how respected he is, as a business man.
