Title A name given to the resource My Lincolnwood Story - Adrienne Stern Subject The topic of the resource <strong>“I feel like I’ve had a good life and you have to give back. It’s our obligation as Jews that we must help out other people and do what we must do for other people.”<br /></strong><br />Born in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Adrienne Stern moved to Lincolnwood after the birth of her first son in 1961. As a certified aquatic exercise instructor, she has taught Aquanastics every summer at the Lincolnwood Pool since its opening in the 1970s. Ms. Stern talks about growing up in Chicago, meeting her husband, and what has kept her in Lincolnwood even after selling the family home.<br /><br /><em>This interview was recording using Zoom.</em><br /><em> </em><br /><em>The views and opinions expressed in interviews do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Lincolnwood Public Library, including its Board of Trustees and staff.<br /><br /><br /><br /></em>TRANSCRIPT:<br />Lev Kalmens  0:00  <br />My name is Lev Kalmens. I'm an Information Services Librarian at the Lincolnwood Public Library. Today is October 30th, 2020. And I'm interviewing Adrienne Stern for our oral history project. Adrienne, thank you for joining me. And what is your lincolnwood story?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  0:16  <br />I must say we moved in Lincolnwood when my oldest son was six months old. And in May of 1961. This population, of course, then was a lot smaller than it is now. We knew all the policemen by their names. Hamlin Avenue, from Touhy to Lunt, was not paved. We had a tree in the middle of the street, as a matter of fact. My alley, which was next to my kitchen--there was an alley that ran along the house--was used as a street because they couldn't get through on Hamlin. The mail truck would come by there and everything. So that was the only way that people could get down the street there. We had pheasants that came to the edge of the road to eat, where they have [inaudible] in order to digest their food. And if they didn't have a very good fight, they would barely make it over the roof tops of the houses there. We could see all the way to--it was an open field we could see all the way to--Bell &amp; Howell, which is where the Lincolnwood Mall is now. We heard all the noises when they were building Winston Towers. I think it was in the thick of '64. The pile drivers were going till 11 o'clock at night. We were going out of our minds to find out who to contact to take care of it. Anyhow, Lincolnwood was not very diverse at that time. We had a young black man, who my husband worked with, who was coming to fix the shed. And he told us when he got to the house, he parked the car and the police were right there directly behind him. He told me they were following him from McCormick and Devon all the way to our house. We were on Greenleaf and Hamlin. So I got to the window and I waved to the policemen that it was okay. And then they drove away. But I mean it was incredible. I guess it just was such an odd thing to see a black man there, they were very, very cautious. It was kind of weird. Let's see, super snow in '68: all of our neighbors pooled together all the food, and everybody got very, very close to each other. We'd support each other. There was an abandoned milk truck in the middle of Hamlin Avenue, south of Greenleaf, that he couldn't go any further. He was stuck in the snow. So we relieved him of the milk and the butter and whatever else he had in his truck. So we had extra things that we could use. People got very, very friendly. All of our neighbors were friends with each other. We'd all basically moved in around the same time of each other. But when somebody new moved in, we always brought a cake to welcome them to the neighborhood. This doesn't exist any longer, I'm afraid. As I said we could see all the way to Bell &amp; Howell. There were factories. There were no factories at all. We fought to prevent factories. It turned out there was a comprehensive rezoning that was to be going on in Lincolnwood. We had one car at that time. My husband's was at work. So two of us walked with our baby buggies, and we went to Village Hall because they wouldn't tell us what the comprehensive rezoning was about. And they said the book was at the clerk's office and we should come and look at it. So we did, and we found out that you could not have a house of ill repute in Lincolnwood. And you could not have a sauerkraut factory. Those were the two prohibitions of Lincolnwood. And then we said, "Well, what was the comprehensive rezoning? What is that?" So she said, "Look in the back." So in the inside flap of the end of the book was a folded up piece of paper. It was like a map. And we said, "Oh, here's my house. Here's your house." And we said, "What's this M, which was to the east of us?" And she said, "Oh, that means manufacturing." Well we were assured that when we moved in, it was all single family residential. And we saw that M, we got hysterical. We went home. We alerted the entire neighborhood that they are trying to put factories in there. So we start fighting this thing. We hired an attorney and the whole bit. We were getting nowhere very rapidly. And then one day, we found out the mayor owned the property there. And we were in contact with the mayor's attorney. The land was not in the mayor's name, it was in the attorney's name and the attorney's secretary. But we found out that that was not the case that he really did own the land. And we were getting nowhere. And one of my neighbors was a builder in Lincolnwood, and he said, "I'll give you some information. I can't get involved, but maybe this could help you." There was a piece of property on the corner of Lunt and Crawford that he had a bid on, and they called and they said, "Somebody has bid more money. If you want to meet it, you know, you can have it be yours." I think it was he had bid 16,000. Somebody offered 18,000, I believe was the figure. And he said, "No, it's not worth any more than that. I'm not giving you that." So they said, "Okay." And they sold it. They sold the land to Mayor Proesel. And it turned out that's where they put Town Hall, a school there, and we didn't think it would look too good that he had prior knowledge of what was going to be built there. So we decided, well, should we tell the newspapers? We decided to call his attorney. And we told him we didn't think it would look very good in the papers that the mayor had prior knowledge of this and that's why he bought the land. He sold it to the school board for, I think it was $123,000. And then they built Town Hall there. We had a lot of different things with Mayor Proesel. We fought for the library. He said what do you need a library for? You've got Skokie, you can use that. Then we fought for the pool. And I will give you the quote. "What do you people need a pool for? You have the JCC." The "you people" hung there in pregnant quotes. And then we knew we had to do something, that we had to force him with a referendum. And we finally got the people to agree that they would like a pool in Lincolnwood. It opened in 1972. I started teaching "aquanastics" there in 1973. And I taught for 46 years. If it wasn't that the pool didn't open this year, I would have been there teaching again.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  7:55  <br />Are you still teaching? I mean with the exception of this year of course. <br /><br />Adrienne Stern  8:52  <br />Correct. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  8:53  <br />Still teaching? Wow.<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  8:54  <br />Yeah, and I've got muscles for sure. Let's see. We've seen many changes here in the area. So many different stores and restaurants, and they've changed and gone away and we miss them. Where the bank is. They just closed. Fifth Third had bought out the bank on Touhy and Crawford. And that was a grocery store. It was called Linwoods, and that was our favorite store. It was wonderful. I would send the kids there for just milk or whatever the hell we needed, and you didn't have to worry that it was right there in the neighborhood. We had a butcher shop there. We had a bakery there. We had a local drugstore and the snack shops. It's so different now. It's incredible.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  9:48  <br />So you said you moved to Lincolnwood, you said 1961. Right?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  9:54  <br />Correct.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  9:55  <br />So tell me a little bit about where you moved from, and why did you decided to move to Lincolnwood?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  10:01  <br />Okay, we lived in Logan Square which is where I grew up. It now became a very nice neighborhood. And it was always a great place to live, but now the yuppies have discovered it. When I got married, we didn't even have an apartment. You couldn't get in the apartments and things were really tight. We went on our honeymoon without having a place to come back to. And then my mother's butcher lived in this building on Sawyer Avenue, and he told her there was an apartment for rent there. My mother grabbed it for us. It was a three-and-a-half-room apartment and had just one bedroom. And we had adopted my son after seven years. And we decided because we needed a bigger place, it's time to go into a house. So we'd loved Lincolnwood. I thought it was a great place. By the way, where my building sits now on the corner of Touhy and Lincoln was a very famous, very lovely restaurant called the House of Pierre. My dad used to bring us here. We would travel all the way down Lincoln Avenue to get there. And they had strolling violinists. It was really a very classy place. I remember very distinctly. Anyhow, so we moved into the house, and it was a cute little small house. And then I gave birth to my other son three years later. We had wonderful neighbors and became dear, dear friends through the years. And even when one of them moved to California, we stayed with them when we went out there. I was closer to her than I think to my own sister, frankly. We were dear friends. She passed away 19 years ago. I miss her every single day. So my boys went to, you know, all the schools there: Town Hall, Rutledge, Lincoln Hall, and of course Niles West. They had a wonderful, excellent education all the way through [inaudible]. My older one is an engineer. He's a civil engineer. And my younger one is an entertainment attorney. And they both live in California unfortunately. Anyhow, we didn't really want to leave Lincolnwood. It was just part of our, you know ... My husband couldn't take the stairs anymore in the house. We had to find a building that had an elevator which is the reason we came here. And we're very happy here. We've always been involved in everything here in the village. My husband helped co-found the Lincolnwood Police Foundation and he was the treasurer there. I served on the Madeline Grants 2000 Commission. I forgot what they called it. It was going to be "what were you gonna do in the future? The future's here." I was also the treasurer of Friends of the Park. We were the ones who took over and did the carnival every summer. What else can I tell you? I think that Mayor Proesel is spinning in his grave right now. I'm not saying he was antisemitic, but he would die again if he knew we had a Jewish mayor and a Jewish police chief. It really cracks me up what I know about because he was he was not the most ecumenical guy you ever want to meet in your life. And I don't know what else I can tell you. Things are very, very different now. The diversity of the population here has changed drastically. The building that I live in is the perfect example. At one time. it was I think 95 or 90 to 95 percent Jewish. There are very few of us here now. We have Muslims, we have one Black family, several Asian families, and a lot of Montenegrins. So it's changed really quite a bit. But we still love it here and found that it was a great place to live. It was certainly close to Chicago whenever we wanted to go in. And yet we had the suburban life which was awesome. It was very nice.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  15:13  <br />After you moved out of your house, what kept you in Lincolnwood, as opposed to, you know, moving somewhere else?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  15:23  <br />Well, we knew everybody. We knew every mayor, I guess, afterwards. The police have changed drastically, but we're still friends with some of them who are now retired. And of course, my husband was on the Family Foundation--you know, the Police Foundation. And you had pools. Even though I have a pool here in my building, I still go to the Lincolnwood pool. Aside from teaching there, I have a lot of friends. We have a whole enclave at the pool that we'll see each other. As matter of fact, we just met for lunch last Wednesday at L. Woods. We keep in touch with each other.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  16:05  <br />How did you get involved in teaching at the pool?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  16:10  <br />How. Let me think. I was teaching certified. Well, the certification didn't come till afterwards. I started teaching before there was certification with the AEA, which is the Aquatic Education Association--Exercise Association. I taught at the Leaning Tower YMCA for a while. And then when we opened the pool up, the following year is when I started teaching there. And we started out with bleach bottles--I tried milk bottles, but they were too soft--in order to get to be able to work in the water. There was no equipment at that time. They didn't have the buoys, the weights, they didn't have noodles. It just didn't exist. So I had people saving their bleach bottles that were used to push down on the water. Then we started using eight-inch playground balls. But by that time, the AEA started coming out with equipment. And so I had at one time 25 or 26 women in the class. Now we're down to like I think it's nine. I have some of the original people are still in my classes as a matter of fact. They come back every year. We have a wonderful time. We do it to music. Now that there's more equipment, it's easier. We have the noodles that we use and the weights. It's fun; we have a wonderful time doing it. And my class is very, very loyal to me. They come back every year.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  18:04  <br />So like you said, some of the people have been with you the whole time that you've been teaching?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  18:11  <br />I have one or two that are still. We've gotten old together. Most have passed away already unfortunately, but I got some of them stuck with me all through the years.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  18:24  <br />So I wanted to go back a little bit. So you said you were born in Chicago, correct? And lived in Logan Square. Tell me a bit about your parents.<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  18:35  <br />I was a very lucky girl. I had marvelous, marvelous parents and we had a wonderful life growing up. I have a younger sister. And my father was an exceptional man. It's hard to describe. Do you know what the word "Tzaddik" is? In Jewish lore, it is a righteous man. They believe there are 36 at one time in the world at all times. And I believe my dad was one of them. He was an incredible individual. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  19:12  <br />What made him so incredible in your opinion?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  19:18  <br />We didn't find out a lot of things that he did until his funeral and people were coming up to us and telling us. He paid for one man's honeymoon. That guy was about to leave for service and he paid for him to go to New York on is honeymoon. He paid for a woman to get piano lessons for her child. He'd help her pay for the piano. He was just an incredible guy. Loving. It's very hard. He was so wonderful. I just have trouble with remembering. I was lucky enough to find a man I married who was virtually very much like my dad, and I had a wonderful life with him. He just passed away seven months ago. And I consider myself very, very fortunate that we lived in a middle-class life when I was growing up, and we were never in want of anything. And my parents took very good care of us, taught us well, taught us to be charitable. My maiden name was Erlich. In German, that means honest. And my dad always felt that we should always live up to that. I hope that I have sustained his belief and followed in his footsteps. We've been very charitable. I feel that I've had a good life and you have to give back. It's our obligation. In Jewish it's called "tikkun olam," which really means to repair the world. And that's our obligation as Jews that we must help out other people and do what we must do for other people.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  21:20  <br />What about your mother?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  21:21  <br />My mother was a wonderful lady. She never worked. She was a wonderful housekeeper. She [inaudible]. She was a great cook and a great baker. And she and my dad lived a wonderful quiet, nice life. We never heard arguing in the house. She was active in Hadassah and the synagogue and the sisterhood. And she did wonderful things for us. Now I look back and I wonder how she even did it. We lived not far from transportation. We had to walk to the L at that time. But she took us to performances down at the Goodman Theatre. I remember seeing Alice in Wonderland and things like that. She always made sure we were exposed to plays and to the theater. And she took me down for my piano lessons Downtown. Originally, I took piano lessons in the house. And then I had to switch to something at Kimball Hall. And we would go for lunch afterwards. And I just have wonderful, wonderful memories. I've had a wonderful, wonderful childhood.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  22:42  <br />Were they born in Chicago, or did they immigrate?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  22:49  <br />Yeah, they immigrated. My dad was 20 years old. He came from a place called Galicia, which never existed after the First World War. Then it became Austria Hungary. Then it was Russia. Then it was Poland. Today is sits in the Ukraine. So the same place is still there, but it depends who won the war that week. He came when he was 20. My mother came when she was two years old from Minsk, which is Belorussia--White Russia. And she originally went to live in New York, and left New York when she was 10 years old, and they moved to a very small town here in Illinois called Amboy, Illinois. Most people never heard of it. It's near Sycamore and DeKalb and places like that. She had a sister there who was lonely, had married a man from DeKalb, and she drove her crazy. She wanted her to come and be family with her. So they lived in Amboy, Illinois. And then my grandmother couldn't stand that they left. In New York, they had electricity. They had indoor toilets. They got to Amboy, they had outdoor toilets, kerosene lamps, lighting, and they a well. She used to keep the meat down the well to keep cold. And because she was kosher, she never ate meat the entire time she was there, but she would give it to the kids. And finally she couldn't stand it anymore. She sent my grandfather on a Saturday to Chicago to go find some friends or something. And that's how they ended up moving to Chicago, which was my fortune because she met my dad.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  24:49  <br />And you know how they met?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  24:51  <br />Yeah, my dad's sister. My mother met her at a dance. And they got to be quite friendly and she introduced her to my dad. It was from the JPI. I think it was like Douglas Forward in the West Side. So that's how they met. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  25:10  <br />What are your own memories of growing up in Chicago? Where did you go to school?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  25:17  <br />I went to Darwin Grammar School, and I was supposed to go to Tuley and I didn't want to go to Tuley. My friends and I also decided we had to get permits, and at that time you had to talk to your alderman. I guess they had to pay off a little bit. And we all went to Roosevelt High School. We rode the Kimball bus all the way to Roosevelt. I used to walk to Kedzie and Logan Boulevard to catch the bus. They had taken the buses off during the Second World War because they had rubber wheels on them and they needed the rubber. So we had to take a streetcar originally when I first went. I think after the first year, we did put the buses back on. And we had a lot of stories with that. I had a mouton fur coat, which is a lamb of some sort. And when it got wet, it smelled terribly. It smelled like tomato herring. Really could describe it. And we had a locker at school. There were three of us that shared the locker, and we all had these heavy big mouton coats, and how we shoved them in and put our boots inside it. And I think of it now and we'd laugh. There's one of us still left besides me. It was fun. It was fun. There was a whole bunch of us who were the bus riders. Some of them came all the way from Division Street. And we were like a halfway mark before they picked us up. And sometimes the buses used to break down in fact quite frequently. And we would get a transfer from the bus driver to show when we came in late to school. We would use the transfer is our admit why were late. We had a lot of nice times and it was a good time. We were the first class after the war was over. And we graduated grammar school in '45 and high school in '49. It was a lovely time. It was a time when things were much simpler then. I remember my dad bringing home the first TV. And we were the only ones in our building, which was a six-flat building, who had a TV. So all the neighbors came to watch TV. Tuesday night was the big night. It was Milton Berle and afterwards was wrestling. And the pattern came on afterwards. My mother was saying let's open a restaurant because we had all these people there she was serving every night. And my landlady once said to my mother, "She shouldn't mind because you're making up [inaudible]." So it was fun. Then other people started getting TVs. And my dad kept bringing back bigger TVs because ours was kind of a little one. And every time they came out with a bigger size, he brought us the bigger one. And then when they came out with color, wow we were really well known in the neighborhood. But people started getting their own TVs, so it became a little easier. But meanwhile, I was in school and studying. I was a sophomore in '47. We had all these people in the house every night. It was kind of tough. But I remember distinctly it was an interesting time. We had chairs set up in the living room like theater style. We had a lot of people there. It was fun though.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  29:18  <br />How many people would come over on any given night?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  29:22  <br />Let me think. Three, six, nine ... probably a dozen. Yeah. Tuesday night was the big night because it was Milton Berle. Yeah. That was the biggest one. It was fun. There was no air conditioning originally. We had a park that was half a block away from us, south of us, called Palmer Park. And I remember going there with my parents and bringing blankets and our pillows and walking over to the park when it got very, very hot, and we slept in the park. I remember doing that two or three times in as a matter of fact. But that park was our neighborhood park, and all the kids knew everybody. Mostly the boys, I knew all the boys. They used to play baseball there, and it was not allowed. And the Shakespeare Avenue police department would always chase them away all the time. It was a terrible thing.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  30:21  <br />What were some of your hobbies? Or, what did you enjoy doing, growing up?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  30:26  <br />I'm an artist. So I've always had a pencil in my hand. And in the later years, I sculpted. And it got too heavy for me now, so then I just do watercolor. But I've always been an artist. I had a nack. That was my big hobby. And I play piano. I did play piano. I don't any longer.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  30:51  <br />How did the interest in art develop for you?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  30:59  <br />I think from school originally. The teacher knows, first of all, I'm terrible at math. And I found out I had a nice excuse that usually--unlike Leonardo da Vinci who could do both--most artists are not good at math. It's the other part of the brain or something. So thank God, I used that as an excuse. I do portraits. So whether in sculpting or in painting, now I like to do portraits. I do people, as opposed to objects. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell too well. Nobody wants somebody else's, you know, face hanging there,  unless it's something really unusual and not necessarily pretty but an interesting face. We used to go to California for the winter months. And I took classes there and we had models. And quite often I would sell the pieces that I was working on to the model. They liked that I got their likeness. So I've sold I think four or five of those which is very nice.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  32:15  <br />Tell me how you and your husband met.<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  32:18  <br />Oh, well. Do you know what Bnei Bris is? Bnei Bris is a Jewish organization. And at one time they had the youth boys club called ACA (alef-tzaddik-alef), and the girls were called BBG girls. I was president of my chapter many years ago. And because of it, we used to have meetings and different dances and different things like that. And I dated guys who were all over the city. It wasn't just in my high school, people that I knew. I dated guys who lived on the South Side, on the West Side, on the North Side because of having met them through Bnei Bris. And my husband was in ACA. I dated a couple of his boyfriend's before I got to him. And he called me one day. I remember seeing him at North Avenue Beach where he used to hang out there. And then he called me for a date. Our first date, believe it or not, was at the Chez Paree, which was at the time the most spectacular nightclub in Chicago. And we saw Nat King Cole there. That was 71 years ago. We were married five years later, so we were married 66 years, last January. And I say I lost him in April. Anyhow, we stayed friends with most of the people that we knew from BBG and ACA. And I still see some of them today after so many years. We know each other from high school days, which was really incredible. And then we got after many years later in 1954, the year we got married, I joined a City of Hope group. To make a long story short, my chapter lasted seven years. I was president of the time. And then we joined a couples group, which was called the Bobby [inaudible] Chapter City of Hope. And we remained very, very active with that. As a matter of fact, I ended up being on the National Board of Directors in California. And I was on the board for 22 years. When they changed the board, we were put on something called the Board of Regents--I called the board of rejects. They changed the board drastically by having people serve on there who are like the president of American Airlines and people like that. And they pay $10,000 a year to serve on the board. So it just became a completely different setup, but they wanted their expertise and their money. And we still remained as the Board of Regents as advisory people. And I say after all these years, I'm still president of my chapter. And we raised over $4 million. From the time of its inception in 1961, I believe. We just had a virtual Walk for Hope. We had the walks every year for breast cancer. And I turned in $13,000, almost $14,000. And that's pretty fair. But I've got a cousin in California who gives me $10,000 every year, so that helps. And then his son started giving me $2,000. So I raise, you know, almost $2,000 myself. So the place is incredible. It's 102 acres. There are many discoveries that have come out of our laboratories. If you know anybody that's diabetic, they take something called Humalog that came out of our laboratories. We were getting $36 million a year in royalties from Eli Lilly. Then the patent ran out, so we don't get that anymore. But at one time, City of Hope was a free hospital, and of course it became impossible to do that. But they do accept insurance. And they give out quite a bit of free care regardless. Most hospitals don't give out more than 5%. And we give out something like 40% free care, which is pretty fantastic. And it's just a fabulous place. They're working right now on diabetes very, very strongly. They've got a few cures, but they can't call them cures yet till there are many more people--the type 1 diabetics--who no longer have to take insulin. Ashley Furniture gave us $50 million (five-oh). Their grandson is diabetic, and they promised him within six years they would have a cure. And they're working very hard on it. It looks looks very, very promising. So I'm very proud of them. They're terrific and they do a fabulous thing at cancer. They were one of the first ones to do the Da Vinci machine where they did robotic surgery, mostly originally on prostate cancer. And then it got bigger and bigger, and they use it for many, many things now. They have six operatories, and they have six of the robotic machines in there. Each lab has its own. So they're $6 million at least each. And so they've got one in every one of the operatories. And it's quite a place. The thing is that it is done with love, absolute love. There's no profit in curing the body if in the process we destroy the soul. So it's with a great deal of compassion and love. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  39:17  <br />What drives you to maintain this engagement and activity.<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  39:24  <br />One time, I was walking down the hall at City of Hope. We were at convention at that time, we used to take us through the halls during the tours. They don't do that any longer if there's patients there. And there was a lady sitting in a rocking chair, holding her baby and rocking back and forth. And I found out the child had Tay-Sachs disease, which is one of the Jewish diseases. And the child was not expected to live more than two and a half years. And there were times I got very upset with people over petty little things. And I remember that mother's face and the hopelessness and the sadness of when she sat there rocking that baby back and forth. And that's what kept me going for a long, long time. I felt I was doing some good and I was helping, and it's very gratifying. I think I got more out of it than City of Hope.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  40:26  <br />I did want to ask, you mentioned at the very beginning about being involved in getting the library in Lincolnwood up and running. Can you talk to me a little bit about that?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  40:37  <br />Yeah, they had bought this--I think it was a Jewel, if I'm not mistaken, or an A&amp;P. I think it was Jewel.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  40:44  <br />The Jewel, yes.<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  40:45  <br />And it was right where the library is now. And they were excited that they had bought this property, and there was a heavy, heavy snow that year and the roof came in. And that was the end. They had to tear the whole thing down and build a whole new library. But we put on a show to raise money. And that was a fun thing. It was really neat. We named Sonia Marshak, who wrote the thing and directed it. It was very, very clever. We all had dual parts. I was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and my other part was Dorothy Parker. The thin man was also the tin man. Noah Coward was the Cowardly Lion. It was so clever. It was absolutely fabulous. I think we had two or three different performances. And we raised money for the library. We started out with that.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  41:43  <br />Where were the performance held for that?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  41:45  <br />At Lincoln Hall? Yeah, I think it was probably Lincoln Hall. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. I had Toto in a basket. I carried my little dog with me. It wasn't my dog. It was a stuffed dog. But I had braids. I still have my ruby red slippers which I made out of red sequins--sequins all over the shoes to make my red slippers. Yeah, it was a fun thing. We rehearsed at Sonia Marshak's house all the time. And then we did our performances. It was cute. So we were the original ones to support the library before there was Friends of the Library. By the way, I'm putting a bench outside the library in memory of my husband. We're waiting for the plaque to be finished. He was there every day. It was his second home. He said he read every newspaper you had from all over the country. So everybody knew him. He was there all the time. What a fitting thing for me to put that there in his memory.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  43:01  <br />Any other final memories about your life or your life in Lincolnwood as we wrap up?<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  43:10  <br />It was a charmed life. I think it was wonderful. We had a wonderful little house. And we moved into this lovely little [inaudible] building here afterwards. But this was without any disruptions, without any heartaches, any something. I mean I've had a wonderful, wonderful life, and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. It was a very convenient place to live, as I said, because it was so close to the city. And we did use the city. And it was nice. It was always ... you knew everybody. Everybody was friendly and warm. And it was just a wonderful place to raise my children. And I think that they look upon it very family. My younger one is still very much involved with all his friends that he met: some at least from kindergarten, and then kids that he met in Niles West, and then the kids he met at Champagne. And he's kind of a Pied Piper. He melded all these people together. They're all one big group. And no matter where they live, they're all one big happy family. I've never seen kids like that in my life. Some of them were from Morton Grove, some of them from Lincolnwood, some several from other places. And they've all become friends all because of my son. He was the catalyst that pulled them all together, and I'm proud of him too.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  44:59  <br />Well, I want to thank you for taking the time and sharing your story and your Lincolnwood story with me.<br /><br />Adrienne Stern  45:06  <br />Thank you.

Title A name given to the resource My Lincolnwood Story - Frances Salvi Subject The topic of the resource <strong>“Different families move in and out, [but] to me, the way the village has been run, it’s pretty much the same as it was in the beginning. That’s why it has remained a very good place to live.”</strong> <br /><br />Frances Salvi has been a Lincolnwood resident for nearly 55 years. She was born in Chicago’s Chinatown neighborhood before her family moved to Sauganash Park. She met her husband, Salvano, in 1965 and together they moved to Lincolnwood in 1966, where they live to this day. Her maternal and paternal grandparents immigrated from Sicily, via Ellis Island, in 1907 and 1912, respectively, and settled in Chicago. Frances fondly remembers the yearly Halloween bonfire organized by the Lincolnwood Police Department, the time she spent studying voice in Italy, and the changes Lincolnwood has seen over the years. <br /><br /><em>This interview was recording using Zoom.</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>The views and opinions expressed in interviews do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Lincolnwood Public Library, including its Board of Trustees and staff.<br /><br /><br /><br /></em>TRANSCRIPT:<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  0:00  <br />My name is Lev Kalmens. I'm an Information Services Librarian at the Lincolnwood Public Library. Today is November 6, 2020. And I'm interviewing Francis Salvi for our oral history project. Francis, thank you so much for joining me, and what is your Lincolnwood Story?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  0:17  <br />Well, I can start out by saying that I started out in Chinatown, where I was born. I went to grammar school there. And then my parents, because of the Circle campus being built, moved from Chinatown to Sauganash Park. After we moved to Sauganash Park, I grew up at Queen of All Saints, and went to school there. Then I went to school, to a girl's school in Evanston. Then I went to Barat College in Lake Forest, and after that I decided to go to Italy to see where my grandfather was born. So I took a trip on the Leonardo da Vinci in 1965 and the day I got on the ship, I met Silvano Salvy, who became my husband a year later. We stayed at my mother's house for two months and had purchased this house in Lincolnwood - because my mother's neighbor had a nephew - and she sent me on Crawford Avenue and Pratt to look for the duplex that was for sale next to her nephew's house. I got lost. I kept going and I went past this school on Crawford and made a left turn onto Lunt Avenue. Driving down to Lunt and Kedvale, I found our house. We purchased the house, and two months later my husband came from Italy. We got married a month later. And then we moved to Italy and we've been here since 1966. Then our children came. Emilio and Sam. They are two years apart, and went all through Lincolnwood school. They went to Loyola Academy. After they started in grammar school, I started to become a real estate agent for a small company that was here in Lincolnwood and sold real estate up until even today.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  2:21  <br />Just to clear up: how exactly did you end up living in Lincolnwood?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  2:27  <br />Alright. My mother's neighbor, who lived down Karlov and Devon in that area, Sauganash Park...<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  2:32  <br />Right. <br /><br />Frances Salvi  2:33  <br />My mother had a neighbor whose nephew lived on Pratt. She told me knowing that I was going to be married, and that we were looking for a house. I was looking with my parents because my husband hadn't come yet. She said to me one day, go over to Crawford and Pratt. She wanted me to make a right turn on to Pratt and I missed it. I drove past the school going north. The first street I turned left on was Lunt. I looked, and I thought, oh, this is really nice here. All the elm trees met in the middle as you drove down the street. I came upon a house on the corner of Kedvale and Lunt that was for sale by owner. So I went home that night; my parents came home from work, and  we all three got in the car and drove over to this house and knocked on the door and asked the people if we could see it. That's how we connected with the owners. Then my husband came that Thursday that same week, and we brought him here to the house. We told the people we were going to buy it. That was 1966.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  3:50  <br />What are your memories of Lincolnwood back in the mid to late 60s?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  3:57  <br />Well, it being near Halloween, I always remember the bonfires and the Halloween contests. Do you know what I mean by the bonfires that were set up in the park?<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  4:10  <br />I've heard it from from a few people. So, yes.<br /><br />Frances Salvi  4:13  <br />All right. The police used to make a great big fence, and in the middle of the fence in the park - I believe it was on, I'm not sure if it was on the tennis courts, but it might have been - they would pile old wood and furniture and all kinds of things into a huge pile. Halloween night they would give out candy and a prizes to the best costumes for the children. Then they would light the bonfire, and everybody went to the park and the weather was usually very nice. We'd watch the bonfire, and then everybody went home. That was something that was discontinued a few years later in the 70s. I don't know why. I think maybe they thought it was dangerous. But they did continue having the Halloween contest and giving out the candy. At one point, they gave out hotdogs, too. We were here when they opened the first pool. That was a big thing, to have a beautiful pool. That summer, my children and I went there every day, to the pool. And let's see, what else can I remember? I can't think of anything else unique to Lincolnwood except for the bonfire.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  5:37  <br />Let's talk a bit about your family. Tell me a little bit about your parents and where they were from.<br /><br />Frances Salvi  5:48  <br />Okay. Well, I'll start with my grandparents [who] migrated from Sicily, all four of them: my mother's parents and my father's parents in the early 1900s came through Ellis Island. My one set, my maternal grandparents, came in 1907. My paternal grandparents came in 1912. They went through Ellis Island and landed in Chicago because they had relatives that lived here. They didn't know each other; however, they were from two small towns in Sicily. My father's father from Nicosia, and my mother's parents from Calascibetta. Those two towns are about an hour away from each other by car. So they came here and they went to Chinatown because that was the Sicilian neighborhood. There was a church there, and it's still there, called Santa Maria Incoronata. The church, the masses, and everything were said in Italian and Latin. That's where I went to school. Later on, the St. Therese's Chinese mission purchased the church. I believe it was in either the late 70s or 80s. The church is still there. We lived on Alexander Street. My parents met at the church. My dad was selling tickets to a dance, and my mother was attending with her sister. They got married in 1938 in Chinatown, and we lived there until I was 10. When I was 10, and they built the Circle campus and the Eisenhower Expressway, we moved to Karlov Avenue and Devon. My father was a Northern Trust Vice President and my mother worked for Carson Pirie Scott. She was John T. Pirie, Jr.'s secretary for 17 years, and she worked at the store 37 years. They lived until 1994; my father passed away. My mother passed away in 2004. They lived exactly five blocks away from where I live now, so we were very close.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  8:13  <br />Talk to me a little bit about your childhood, even before Lincolnwood, just growing up in Chinatown.<br /><br />Frances Salvi  8:21  <br />Oh, that was fun. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  8:23  <br />What your life was like? <br /><br />Frances Salvi  8:25  <br />Well, we had to walk a pretty long way to school because the church was on our street, but the school was about nine blocks away. I walked every day rain or shine - it didn't matter, at least when I was about in third grade, I think I started walking - and I was there until I was in fourth grade. But we learned how to do double dutch jump ropes, and we played jacks. It was really fun there. We would go outside for recess every afternoon, and there were grocery stores around. You could go in and put a penny in the gumball machine, and I actually still have the things that I won in the gumball machines. You could buy french fries. It was a very nice time. You could walk anywhere without any fear or anything. It was a good time.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  9:27  <br />Do you remember who your friends were at that point?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  9:29  <br />Yes, I have kept in touch with about two friends, but one just passed away recently. They were both nurses. They were twins and one got married. One was single all her life. After I moved from Chinatown I kept in touch with them, and I did go back to one of the reunions. But then later on, being here in the Sauganash Park area, I made a lot of friends. We have kept in touch, and recently had our 60th grammar school reunion. It was in 2016. We had 75 people attend, and we had it at Colletti's, which is a restaurant on Elston and Central. It was really fun to see everyone again.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  10:28  <br />Now, so you mentioned that you met your husband when you were going to Italy...<br /><br />Frances Salvi  10:35  <br />Right. Well, the reason I went to Italy was I was studying mezzo soprano voice at school. I had private coaches. I was also in the Glee Club and did some solos. But since the time I was small...I have a brother who passed away in 1990; my grandfather used to say to him, I'm going to take you to the old country, meaning Sicily. I would always say, "Me, too! I want to go! I want to go!" That wasn't going to happen; he was going to take my brother. In 1965, I decided this is it, I'm going to take a trip. I incorporated some studying for voice in Italy. I left on June 2, and I stayed three months. I left on the ship, the Leonardo da Vinci, and that's where my husband was working. He was the pursers assistant and the waiter of my table. The trip takes eight days. It was a really nice trip. The weather was beautiful. The trip was beautiful. When I landed in Sicily - excuse me, I landed in Naples - my Sicilian cousins were there to meet me. I didn't speak a word of Italian. I got off the ship in Naples, and there was a man with a sign that had my last name on it. That's how I met my cousins. They took me to this village where nobody spoke English. So I had no choice. I had a book, a small book, and I learned from the table how to say fork, knife, spoon, glass, glass of water, glass of wine, etc. That's how I started to learn. I stayed with them for 12 days, and was able to communicate very, very minimally in a way that they could understand and I could understand. The longer I stayed in Italy, the more I learned. I became fairly fluent, not grammatically correct, but fairly fluent.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  12:50  <br />Why did you decide for the trip to go by ship versus by airplane?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  12:57  <br />Well, first of all, airplanes were not that popular in those days. I had been on an airplane, and I wasn't thrilled with it. I wanted to have the experience of going by ship. I had read everything I could. Then went to a travel agency at Carson Pirie Scott, and the man coached me on the different ships.In those days you had first, second, and third class. I thought, well, I'll go in the middle. So I went second class. In those days, on the ships you went to the same table every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There were dress codes; you had to dress for dinner. It was quite different than today where everyone is very casual. In 1965, it was the beginning of airplane travel and kind of the end of the ship traveling. I decided that I wanted the experience of going on the ship and seeing what it was like; being influenced by the movies and the Three Coins in the Fountain and all of those wonderful movies. I wanted to see Rome and Florence; I especially wanted to see Florence. I went to the Art Institute and took a class on Etruscan history. I thought that summer that that would help; the the year before I went to Italy that that would help me immerse myself in some of the culture besides what I knew from my own family. I wanted to take the ship because of the experience of going by ship. That's how I ended up on the ship. I came back on a brand new ship called the Raffaello. The Leonardo was a little bit older but the Raffaello was brand new. They both took eight days to come back; going and coming back eight days each way.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  15:00  <br />While you were in Italy - you said you went there to study?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  15:04  <br />Yes, I went to study voice. I tried to coordinate my trip with some of the religious festivals, and in Sicily there was a festival. It was called the Body of Christ, Corpus Domini. In those towns, they process with the large statue of the Virgin Mary, and they sing; it was very ancient sounding. You would go to all these different churches and they actually celebrated the feasts, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I tried to coordinate with different feasts and also some public celebrations. I went to Sienna to see the Palio, which is the horse race. I went actually to study voice. But then after I met Silvano, he decided that we would get together and go to his town, which is very close to Cinque Terre, the Italian Riveria, and it's called Lerici. That's where Mary Shelley wrote the story of Frankenstein, and where Lord Byron and Shelley, both lived and wrote their poetry. Lord Byron died; he he drowned in the Bay of the Poets, which is where Lerici and San Terenzo, the two small villages, that my husband's family grew up in.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  16:43  <br />What pushed you to, or inspired you to, study voice at that time?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  16:49  <br />Oh, I had been singing all the way from the time I was in grammar school in different choirs. My father was the one who really wanted me to go to the Lyric. But in that type of lifestyle, you really don't have...it's very hard to have a normal life if you're a singer, famous actor or anything. But I always like the singing, so I did continue. After I graduated college, I taught at the Convent of the Sacred Garden on Sheridan Road. I was the speech and drama teacher and I did the choir. I was a music teacher; not music, but singing teacher. My father was the one who wanted me to do that. But I decided that wasn't going to be the kind of life that I was going to pursue because it's a very lonesome life.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  17:53  <br />It is; yeah, I can imagine.<br /><br />Frances Salvi  17:55  <br />I mean, if you've seen Maria Callas' recent movie - it's a story about her life - she expresses it very, very well: either you have your career or you have a family. Some people are lucky and are able to do that, but it's very rare to have both. I could see that I wasn't really that enthusiastic about being on the stage, although I love being in the speech and drama. That was my major.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  18:34  <br />Speaking of family, when you did move to Lincolnwood, you said you had or you have rather, you said two children, correct?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  18:44  <br />Yes, I did. We had two sons. My first son is Emilio, and he was named after my father-in-law, my husband's father. That's a tradition to do that. My second son is named after my father, Sam. So there's Emilio and Sam. They were born in 69 and 60; excuse me, 67 and 69. They went to Lincoln Hall, all through school, and Sam was in the first preschool that they had at Lincoln Hall. I think the teacher's name was Miss Marcucci, I think. They have friends that they met in that school up to this day. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  19:36  <br />Well...<br /><br />Frances Salvi  19:37  <br />Even though most of them, the kids, went to Niles West, and Sam and Emilio until Loyola, excuse me - and Sam and Emilio went to Loyola Academy - they still kept their friends. Every year one of my son's has dinner with about seven or eight of the fellas that they went to school with that lived in Lincolnwood. They had a good life too, they like to...<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  20:05  <br />I was gonna ask a bit more about their childhood, growing up in Lincolnwood.<br /><br />Frances Salvi  20:12  <br />Well, they were able to walk to school because in the area where we live - which is west of Crawford, south of Touhey, north of Pratt, and east of Lincoln - there is no bus. You have to either drive or walk. That was a big influence on where I chose to send my children because I could have sent them to the same grammar school I went to, but that's on Devon near Cicero. It was too far away. At that time, we only had one car, and my husband would take the car to work every day. We decided that the walking only three blocks to Crawford from Kedvale here would be fine. That's why we sent them there. We were very happy with the school. I was a little bit involved; I used to get involved with the kids' plays and things. But it was just a minimal, voluntary basis. That was fun to be involved with that. They liked the school and they liked their friends. They would bicycle around everywhere here. At that time, there was no pool. But then, of course, when the pool came in, they would go there. Eventually, one of my children worked for the Village as a groundskeeper for one summer, and Emilio was working at the - now, I won't remember the name of it - but there was a toboggan slide on Devon and Milwaukee. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  21:49  <br />Sure. <br /><br />Frances Salvi  21:50  <br />I can't think of the name of the pool, but he worked there one summer. Sam worked as a groundskeeper in Lincolnwood for one summer, and then he worked for the Park District in Chicago other summers. Then from there they went on to work...well, my one son has been working at Northern Trust, for 35 years, I think 36 now. Sam is a real estate appraiser, who does appraisals of commercial property. Both of them are kind of in finance and real estate; they are in that kind of thing, finance and real estate. We talk a lot about the market. We talk a lot about buildings and things around Chicago; apartment buildings and office buildings that he goes to every day, even today.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  22:46  <br />You mentioned you also ended up in real estate; how did that transition happen for you?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  22:51  <br />Well, that happened again - my father was very influential in my life. My parents kept urging me; and I had a brother who was in real estate, and he was an attorney. He urged me to take the license and begin to work in real estate. My dad knew a man who owned the company here, and I went to interview with him. My husband and I both went. I'm telling you, the way I'm talking now, you would not believe this. When I went to interview, it was probably - let's see, Sam was three - probably 1972. I didn't say a word. I didn't say one word during that interview. The man called my father and he said, "Are you sure it wasn't your daughter that came from Italy? Because she should say one word." So my husband and I left, and he said, "Okay, well, you go first, and if it works for you, we'll see." So anyway, I took the test. In those days, you didn't have to go to school. I took the test, and luckily I passed it, because after I passed that test, they made a rule that you would have to go to real estate school to get your license. I wouldn't have been able to; I didn't have a babysitter or any of that. That was just timing. I got the license in '73 and started working. We sold primarily in Lincolnwood, Skokie, Morton Grove, and we would branch out to Edgebrook and Sauganash. When the computer systems came in, it opened up a whole new world. I would sell things even as far as California and New York City because I knew people that were traveling, and they had things that they wanted to sell. But, in the old days, you stayed right in your village. It was so different.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  24:53  <br />Tell me a little bit about...I imagine you had a lot of various family traditions. Either with you growing up, or when your children were growing up. Were there any traditions that stand out that you may have passed on, that were passed on from one generation to the other?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  25:11  <br />Well, of course, when we lived in Chinatown we lived upstairs from my grandmother. She had four sons: three were married, and one was a bachelor. We always went to her table for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Later on, as I could understand it, as I got older, I realized how hard it was. Because of course, my mother wanted to go to her family's. So we would have to negotiate every year how far we were going to be able to eat at my grandmother's downstairs. Then, for Thanksgiving, go to my aunts and uncles on my mother's side. My grandmother would make food. She made eight loaves of bread every Saturday. She made her own pasta. I used to help her - not help her, I was there - and I would see how she made the pasta. Every Saturday morning, I would be down there with her. I'm sure I was of no help at all. She tolerated my presence; that's all I can say. I'm not the cook of the family, but my husband is very good cook. The traditions of having the meal every week, I mean every holiday with her, was really something very strong. Our tradition in our own family was we always had spaghetti and meatballs on Sunday; my mother would make her own sauce. She didn't make her own pasta, but she would make meatballs and her own sauce. Then when we moved north and all the sons that were married and had children each moved into their own homes. My one uncle who was bachelor stayed with my grandparents until they died. We all would try to get together periodically, if not for the major holidays, at least during the summer once in a while we'd go to each other's homes. We did remain very close. I have cousins who call me, I would say two or three times a week, from St. Louis and other cousins who live in Des Plaines, and all over. We still talk to each other and are pretty close. We had these [inaudible] and the Thanksgiving turkey. My grandmother had four sons and she would make whatever they wanted. We had not only turkey, we had chicken and beef and sausage and soups, and she would make everything. Even though she worked - when I was very young, she worked outside the house. She then quit working and she stayed home. She was really a fabulous cook.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  27:36  <br />The area that you that you described where you live in Lincolnwood that's pretty close to the library, correct?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  28:21  <br />Yes, the library used to be the Jewel food store.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  28:25  <br />Right. So I was gonna ask - of course, I understand that the library kind of didn't appear about maybe 15 years later after you had moved to Lincolnwood. But do you remember...? <br /><br />Frances Salvi  28:35  <br />Right. Well, the one thing I remember in particular - and this doesn't really have to do with the library - but when the big snowstorm came in 1967 in January, my son was born in March, and we were quarantined in the house for five days. The only way that we could get groceries was we took a sled and walked to the library. Which was the jewel food store? <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  29:11  <br />Right.<br /><br />Frances Salvi  29:12  <br />I'll never forget that. I don't remember how many exact years it was that the library came. But I do remember that we did buy a brick with her family name on it. That was one of their first...well, years later, they had a promotion to support the library. I did have a name, but I don't know if they still have it. I went to look for it one time and they didn't. They've redone that, and done something else now.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  29:42  <br />Yeah, the bricks...I think when the building was renovated the lastest time in 2017, the bricks were removed and I think there's a...I think the names of the people who have who had bricks purchased are on the big window when you first walk in to the building. In addition to the library, and you mentioned the Jewel, what were some of the other businesses, whether it was restaurants or stores...<br /><br />Frances Salvi  30:18  <br />Okay. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  30:19  <br />...that you remember?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  30:20  <br />Well, thinking back now, we were really pioneers because there were no malls. There were no Village Crossing. There was no Village Crossing. But there was a restaurant, there was a hamburger place on Lincoln and it was, I think, near where the Walgreen is. Oh, they had peanuts. Where did you remember? Well, you may not remember. But they had these restaurants where people would eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor. It had something to do with a hamburger. I can't think of it. There was Howard Johnson's, too. Also, there was a restaurant called The Fireside Inn, and there was a florist shop called Ernie's Florist that had been there for years. I think The Fireside burned to the ground. This is where David's Gift Shop was on the corner of Touhy and Kostner. The mall there. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  31:34  <br />Right, right. The Starbucks was in that same space, right? <br /><br />Frances Salvi  31:39  <br />Yes. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  31:40  <br />Like a print shop?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  31:42  <br />Yes. There was a store there. It was called David's and they had antiques; beautiful antiques and lamps. You could get your lampshades made there. The owner, his name was David, I think, Goldberg. He lived upstairs with his wife and mother. They owned the whole property for years. Then he really scaled down to a much smaller store. Then eventually he sold the whole mall property.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  32:16  <br />In your 55 years in Lincolnwood, how has, in your opinion, how has the village...what changes have you seen? <br /><br />Frances Salvi  32:26  <br />Well, the biggest changes are the availability of all the different types of shops, malls, and restaurants that are here now compared to 54 years ago. There was only the Jewel food store, and only the school and only the park. There were no malls or shops to walk to, or even drive to. The purple motel was there or hotel. But other than that, there were no condominiums. The first condominium was built on Devon and Cicero. That was built in the late 70s. As a matter of fact, Nicky Weiss is the man who built that building. He passed away about two months ago. He built the Hampton Place on Touhy and Lincoln, and there are two others called the Barkeley and then the Lincolnwoods Suites. Those were the only big buildings that came about in the late 70s. Prior to that, everything was one story high. I'm not talking commercial except for the bank on the corner of Lincoln and Touhy. That was the only highrise that we had. Other than that, there were three story or two story houses, but most of the homes were ranches. A lot of the ranches got torn down, and the lots were divided into two. Millennium Homes were built where they were more straight up and down; lots of space, but it was three stories.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  34:22  <br />Any other final thoughts, memories, that you'd like to share?<br /><br />Frances Salvi  34:27  <br />Well, I think my biggest, fondest memories were I would say the bonfire and the pool. I don't know; it was just a great place. It is just a great place to live regardless of the changes, I still like it here.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  35:03  <br />Well, you stayed for such a long time.<br /><br />Frances Salvi  35:06  <br />I intend to stay here forever. We have no plans of selling. We live in a ranch with one level; we have a basement. But I really enjoy my garden. Everything is pretty much the same. I mean, as far as our house, well, he did say that when we first moved here, we had a two bedroom house, it was the smallest house on the block. And 10 years later, we added out it was a rectangle, and we added another rectangle, which made four bedrooms and three baths. And they became a livable place for four people. So now we use four place for four people, there's two of us. And we still utilize Oh, pretty much the whole house. But what I meant by things are the same is that yes, different families move in and out. And but the area to me has, I mean, the, the way that the village has been run, it's pretty much the same as it was in the beginning where everybody kind of follows the rules. So put your garbage meals out at a certain hour and take them in street sweeping and all of that all of the amenities are still here. So that's why it's remained a very good place to live.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  36:40  <br />Well, I would like to thank you for taking the time and speaking with me about your history in Lincolnwood, and contributing to our oral history project.<br /><br />Frances Salvi  36:53  <br />Oh, you're welcome.

Title A name given to the resource My Lincolnwood Story - Paul Grant Subject The topic of the resource <strong>“My wife came to me one night and said, “Paul, what would you say if I said I thought I’d run for mayor?“ I said I’ve been waiting two months for [her] to tell me that [she] was going to do this.” <br /><br /></strong>Paul Grant has lived in Lincolnwood for the better part of the last 60 years. From the addition of the pool to the establishment of the library, he has seen a lot of change in that time. Mr. Grant talks about growing up in Oak Park, meeting his wife, Madeleine, teaching at Loyola University, and being active in the Lincolnwood community. <br /><br /><em>This interview was recording using Zoom.</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>The views and opinions expressed in interviews do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Lincolnwood Public Library, including its Board of Trustees and staff.<br /><br /><br /><br /></em>TRANSCRIPT:<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  0:00  <br />My name is Lev Kalmens, I'm an Information Services Librarian at the Lincolnwood Public Library. Today is September 2nd 2020 and I'm interviewing Paul Grant for my Lincolnwood story, our oral history project. Paul, thank you for joining me and what is your Lincolnwood story?<br /><br />Paul Grant  0:18  <br />Well, I've lived here for about 57 years. I became active in the village about 20 years ago, and my wife and a few others decided we needed a library. She headed up the library and I worked as a volunteer for years. Then when she ran for mayor, I also worked as a volunteer as [inaudible]. After she had passed away, after some years, I was appointed to the ad hoc sewer commission, which I served on for about 60 years. Then -- six years, I'm sorry, seemed like 60. I then served two four year terms on the Zoning Board of Appeals. I stepped down from there, I didn't accept your nomination about three years ago because my health was starting to fail.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  1:18  <br />So tell me, how did you end up in Lincolnwood in the first place?<br /><br />Paul Grant  1:23  <br />Well I was a West sider, I grew up in Oak Park. After my marriage in 1959 my wife and I settled temporarily in Forest Park and then in Bellwood, and then began to look for, when she was pregnant, a more permanent home. She started to look at the north side and each week we'd look a little further north. Finally, she came home one night and said she thought she'd found the perfect place and it was in Lincolnwood. She just kept moving further north every week.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  2:02  <br />What are your initial memories of what Lincolnwood was like in the early 1960s?<br /><br />Paul Grant  2:08  <br />It was a very well run village. I mean in the great storm, it was '63 I think it was, the streets were clear the next morning, but you couldn't get out of Lincolnwood. But everything seemed to be, except Mayor Proesel idea of Lincolnwood, and he professed this, this is not my opinion, was it was a dormitory community and that the people would really rest here, but could get their entertainment and their work and so on and so forth in Chicago. That ended a little bit when some people got him to hold a referendum on a swimming pool a few years later. That passed overwhelmingly, but it was the only thing done for many years really. Adding amenities to the life of the village. But the village seemed to efficiently run operations.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  3:05  <br />Do you think that like the addition of the pool was something that benefited the village in the long run?<br /><br />Paul Grant  3:11  <br />Oh, I think so. I think it very much did.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  3:15  <br />So going back a little bit. You said you grew up on the west side? What do you remember about growing up? What did your parents do for a living? Tell me a little bit about your childhood.<br /><br />Paul Grant  3:28  <br />Well, my father was an auditor with the Tribune. My mother was a homemaker. I was the oldest of six children, and there wasn't a lot of assets around the house, to say the least. You know, Park was a quiet suburb much like Evanston. They used to rival each other, as a matter of fact. They were both dry communities, both had good schools and both had little crime. We always felt boys and girls, we could go out any place and have our fun without worrying about anything. There weren't a lot of cars. This was just before during the war. I guess just before I think I moved, I'm sorry. Just before during the war, and I stayed, stayed through school. Then went into the service in '54 for about two and a half years. Uncle Sam wanted my presence a little longer than he told me it would take. Then I married in '59.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  4:42  <br />You said you served in 1954, what was the extent of your duty?<br /><br />Paul Grant  4:46  <br />I was stationed in France in a reserve unit to the US Army Headquarters in Germany. My duties are classified.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  5:02  <br />Alright, and then so you said you got married in 1959, how did you meet your wife?<br /><br />Paul Grant  5:13  <br />I met her in my senior year of college at Loyola. Somebody said he wanted me to meet a young lady. She was in a local coffee shop and I was introduced to her. We became friendly and when I went in service, I asked her if she'd write to me and she said yes. When I came out of service, she was engaged and so things trailed off obviously. About six months later and this must have been about '55 I guess, I bumped into her in the same coffee shop where I first met her; I found out she was no longer engaged so I asked her out. When we got married in '59, I didn't have a job; I'd been going to graduate school. When we came home from our honeymoon, I had three contracts waiting for me.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  6:11  <br />So what was your first job then?<br /><br />Paul Grant  6:14  <br />I became an administrator and faculty member instructor in Loyola's Graduate School of Labor Relations, as a member of the full time faculty. I also was the assistant to the administrator. I handled most of the the academic paperwork, interviews and so on, accepting students, rejecting students or whatever.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  6:41  <br />How long were you at Loyola University?<br /><br />Paul Grant  6:48  <br />For about 40 years. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  6:49  <br />Oh wow!<br /><br />Paul Grant  6:50  <br />I was asked to take over the university's pension programs. I did so and then after a couple of years, they asked me really to handle human resources. My title was an Assistant Vice President of Finance, but I was really the university's chief human resource director. In the late '50s, I was one of three finance officers who was delegated by the university to help integrate the brand new medical center we were building. We had never had a medical center that included a dental school, a medical school, a 500 and some odd bed hospital, and ancillary services. I don't think I'll ever forget the date of May 23rd, 1969; the day we opened the hospital. During all that time I continued teaching part time, and was considered a member of the full time faculty. I finally left the administration, I think its '91 and went back to teaching full time, then retired January 1 of 1996.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  8:15  <br />What did you find most fulfilling about teaching?<br /><br />Paul Grant  8:19  <br />Well I'll tell you a story, one night probably about '94, I was standing at the elevator with the director of our program. We were both going to class and he looked at me as we were waiting for the elevator and he said "to think they pay us for doing this"; I pretty much agreed with him. I had a lot of different careers there, teaching, administration, and in about 1985 at the suggestion of one of the executives, I founded a credit union. I served as the chairman of the board, that's incidentally an unpaid job in Illinois, as chairman of the board for 15 years. When I retired from the university, I retired from that also, although it wasn't necessary. We had about 4000 members when I retired and it's still going strong.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  9:19  <br />I understand that your wife was very instrumental in the establishment of the Lincolnwood library. Tell me a little bit about that time; I believe that was in the mid to late 70s, and kind of how it all came to be.<br /><br />Paul Grant  9:33  <br />Well it's sort of funny, she was looking for something to do really. One of her friends asked her if she wanted to join the League of Women Voters, she said "why don't you go to a couple of meetings?" So she did and she came home and she said to me, "you know Lincolnwood is the largest village in the state that doesn't have a library", or words to that effect, and I said no I didn't. At the time Mayor Proesel believed that since we had a small double storefront library up just short of the railroad tracks on Devon up past Central, he felt this was all we needed. A Lincolnwood resident I think could get a card for $20 a year and he didn't see the need for anything else. So my wife and about six others decided to see if they could form a library, and they did! They got some consultative help, and eventually went down before the county board and the county board swore them all in as the [inaudibile] members I guess, of a library board. Then they had a referendum in the village which the village did not support, because Mayor Proesel didn't want it. But the referendum was almost 70% favorable; this is a highly educated village. I guess I was surprised it wasn't 80%. After that they swore themselves in, they named themselves, and the board elected Madeline as President. They then needed to find a library and there was a Pier One store all by itself, at the corners of Lincoln, Pratt and Crawford that was not renewing its license. It was almost ideal from the standpoint of the library because it was just across the street from the school. Of course a library really is very important with the school system. It would have been nice not having to cross a busy street, but that was the only negative. So with their new powers, they condemned the property. The Pier One had decided not to renew its lease; I believe the building was actually owned by Jewel. We moved in in '56 there was a small Jewel store where the library is now. It went out of business and Pier One took over, so Pier One was not going to renew its license and so they went through the condemnation process. By this time they had a skillful library attorney, they were guided throughout by highly skilled people. Being now a government agency even though it had not gotten the tax bill up, much less collected any money, it was now an official government agency and had the right to levy taxes. Virtually every bank in the country I think at least in the Chicago area, called up happy to loan money. So they had money through loans even though they had not that got any from taxation yet. After the referendum they had the right to levy taxes and they did so. That night, I think it was in February, I can't even remember the year. But at 12:30 one night, we had snowed terribly all day. It was heavy, wet snow. In fact, we couldn't get the car out of the driveway to go to the grocery store that day and dragged a sled all the way to the Treasure Island that used to be in Lincolnwood village. We live in that general area and 12:30 at night as we are about to go to bed, the phone rings. With five kids you're always nervous when the phone rings. The man identified himself, "this is chief of police Lester Flowers and I want to speak to Mrs. Grant", so I gave it to her and I listened because this was something really unexpected. I listened as he told her the building had collapsed. It was now an attractive nuisance at law and that she better get some guards over there to keep kids and others from getting into it. She [Madeline Grant] called the library director LaDonna Kienitz. At that time, and I'll come back to this in a moment, but at that time there was a demonstration library and LaDonna and she called detective agencies. We had Chicago phonebooks and called detective agencies for about 45 minutes and given the circumstances, no one would come out under any circumstances. You couldn't get to Lincolnwood! The Ls weren't running, the buses weren't running, no cars could get through, it was really one of the two most terrible nights I think I've seen in this village. I finally, I think it was me because I wasn't busy, I thought of the answer! I said to her, "Mad, I think off duty policeman often do this kind of work" and she said "I'll give it a try." The police chief had told us he would sit by his phone until he heard from her. It's now 1:15 I guess, and so she calls Chief Flowers and she said, "Chief there is nobody going to come out tonight like this. But don't off duty policeman sometimes? Well yes, I think they do sometimes Mrs. Grant." I'm paraphrasing obviously, this is it, this is the meeting though. He says, "I will see if I can't find some people to come over and take care of that; and you know, they charge." She said, "of course I know that." He said, "in the meantime, I'll put a police car in for the library to make sure nobody gets in until I can get some people there." He had told us just less than an hour before no police cars were available. But from then on, he was very friendly. We then went through the process of building the library. But before that the state of Illinois had provided what's called, I think it was called, a demonstration library. An actual physical library, which I think was in the building that Harris trust now occupies. It was sort of a double storefront. They provided the books, they provided the rent, all of the expenses, and the village supplied the manpower. The board had hired a woman named LaDonna Kienitz who turned out to be an inspired hire. She worked for the village for about 10 years and went out to Orange County, California where she eventually pretty much ran the county. She had picked up an MBA while she was at Lincolnwood, she picked up a law degree in Orange County and she had a previous library masters. The library then hired architects, cleared the property hired architects and it was insured, luckily. The judge had set the price for the condemned property. What judges normally do, I don't know if you're familiar with this, what they normally do in the case of a condemnation, is they hire some assessors to assess the property's value. Then from the assessments they make a decision, a binding decision on what it will cost the people who are condemning the property. As I remember the library people thought it was a very fair settlement price. So with that they hired architects, they built the library. They are now larger because later on they were able to buy one of the houses abetting the library. So they are now somewhat larger; the library itself has been enlarged a couple of times. Not hugely, but a couple of times. There was one day that the library moved its books from the demonstration library to the new library. On that day I'd imagine 50 to 70 of us, volunteers all, carried the books in our arms, out the door across Lincoln Avenue into the new library. The police chief was kind enough to give us a policeman to help direct traffic.<br /><br />Paul Grant  18:25  <br />So since then, it's been a very positive experience. For about four or five years, they did something that maybe other people may not recall. But we had a library festival each year, in the spring and we would bring in some famous authors; they would speak. It never never really took off in terms of numbers. It was eventually given up because it was costly. But the idea was to get the name in the papers, get the media's attention, which we did and also to make people enjoy it. I'll tell you a little story I just thought of this morning as a matter of fact. I'm a Roman Catholic, but I am probably the only person in Lincolnwood who ever had two Jewish Nobel Prize winners in his house. They were Isaac Bashevis Singer and the famous Nazi hunter... oh what was his name?<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  19:24  <br />I believe it was Elie Wiesel<br /><br />Paul Grant  19:27  <br />Elie Wiesel! We had receptions for them; we had a pretty good sized house. So we had receptions for them, quite an experience. I sat and talked with, Robert Parker who wrote the Spencer books - <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  19:46  <br />Yes<br /><br />Paul Grant  19:47  <br />Mystery stories and "Spenser For Hire" on television. We sat at lunch together at my place because I'm an economist by trade. We sat at lunch discovering the economics of writing books. Not personally, I mean, he didn't tell me what he made or anything. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  20:03  <br />Right<br /><br />Paul Grant  20:04  <br />But a little bit about what it was like to be an author and how many people could make money being authors, that sort of thing. Very interesting, he also told me that once he wrote a book, or wrote a chapter, and finally a book, he never looked back. He never went back and reread it, never copyread it, or proofread it, it was finished. We had other writers tell us at some of these festivals that they've gone over their own writing probably 100 times, but he didn't.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  20:40  <br />How did the library being a relatively new organization in the early 80s, manage to attract these big names to come and speak here?<br /><br />Paul Grant  20:52  <br />They didn't, authors are always apparently looking for publicity and their publishers push them to do these things. We did, in cases where they were from out of the area, I think that the library paid their expenses. I'm fairly sure they did, that'd include airfare, hotels, the Purple Hotel was probably where they all stayed at I think, and meals and so on. I don't know anything about how many people rejected it, but I knew we had some very, very famous writers.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  21:25  <br />Okay, so you mentioned that you have five children - <br /><br />Paul Grant  21:29  <br />Right<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  21:29  <br />Talk to me a little bit about raising them in Lincolnwood and what family life was like for you?<br /><br />Paul Grant  21:39  <br />Well we bought a two flat, just north of Pratt on Christianna, I guess it's Christianna. We had a mother in law and an aunt living above us, so we had built in babysitters. We moved in, I think it was '64 and the girls were not quite a year old I think, and my wife was pregnant with the third child. We had three and thirteen months, four and thirtynine months and they went to the Lincolnwood grade schools, and the girls were identical twins. They're very well known in the village and they worked at various places in or near the village. They were always in the school system and they told us this advance that they would keep them separate, that they didn't want to put twins in the same classroom. They always did but one day when they were in seventh grade, about Thanksgiving time, we got a call just before six o'clock at night. The principal is on the phone and she was upset. She said they had just realized they had "X", "X", [inaudbile] and contrary to their policies, put the two girls in the same classroom; what do we think about that? We said, "well we don't know anything about that, but we don't care really, we'll ask them", and we call them in, and we said, "are you in the same classroom?" They said, "yeah", and we said, "didn't you think you should tell us about it? Why? Do you mind being in the same classroom? No. You want to stay? Okay." So the school had really been concerned with something that really didn't have anything of interest to them. They were just as happy together or apart. We always sort of joked to each other, we thought we had the right names for them. We were never absolutely sure. People who met them, and like kids would invite them to a party when they were in school and the mothers would tell us later, "we had no idea which was which you know? They introduce themselves but from then on we had no idea." So that was a big part of the early thing. My five kids turned out to have no athletic ability at all, although all of them played Little League, but they were pretty bad at it.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  24:18  <br />Were you yourself athletic when you were growing up?<br /><br />Paul Grant  24:22  <br />No not much, I had the interest but I didn't have the abilities. My father had been a semi-pro baseball player, so I was surprised that one of my younger brothers was a superb basketball player. But too small, only 5'6'', too small to really make the big time. So there was athletic ability in the family it just didn't rest with me.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  24:45  <br />So how many siblings? You say you were the oldest of six correct? <br /><br />Paul Grant  24:52  <br />I was the oldest of six. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  24:54  <br />What was your relationship like with your siblings?<br /><br />Paul Grant  24:56  <br />We were pretty close. We didn't have the things to do you have today when you're young, we didn't have television. That came in when we were a little older, most of us a little bit older and so on. So really it and particularly during the colder weather, we were all together with each other. We didn't have a car and so we weren't taking people out to visit their friends and so on in the winter, we were just tied together. So I think we turned out to be a pretty close family. We still are pretty close. There's only four of us still alive but we still are in touch with each other pretty constantly.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  25:34  <br />Are they spread out all across the country or still kind of in the Chicago area?<br /><br />Paul Grant  25:39  <br />No they're not, and this is sort of an interesting thing. The six of us really stayed together in the Chicago area. Even now the four that are left are in the Chicago area, although one of them travels a bit. My five are, well, four of us are fairly close together. I have a daughter in Skokie, another daughter got a chance to go to the suburbs, they've moved out to Highland Park, and my son just down at the lake front almost directly east of me, and I have one son in Joliet. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  26:14  <br />So how would you describe your your relationship with your children today?<br /><br />Paul Grant  26:20  <br />We're pretty close. I've had, we are now allowed I mean assisted living here, we're now allowed to have outside visitors. Although you have to be outside with them, three of the four that can make it have been over. The fourth one has just suffered some serious physical disabilities recently and he can't get over. But they pick up food for me and other things that I need dropped off and they're busy, they're busy people, they either work or -<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  26:53  <br />You've lived in Lincolnwood for the majority of your life, in what other ways do you think the village has changed in the last 60 years?<br /><br />Paul Grant  27:01  <br />It's become much more polyglot, if I could use the word, in it's people. About three or four years ago I was reading an article in the newspaper that said that the Lincolnwood schools at that time, the kids spoke 37 different languages at home. I don't think that was true when I moved in by any means. The village, like Skokie, was largely Jewish. It was changing as with Skokie at the time and as was the same with some of the other suburbs, into more mixed groups. So I think that's been one of the big changes. We find, for example, that at least I am told that participation in voting is not as common as it was 60 years ago. I thought it was regarded more 60 years ago as something you just did. But now it's said that many people don't because they're afraid of being put on jury rolls and things like that. I don't know how true that is.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  28:09  <br />Now, speaking of elections, your wife was also the mayor of lincolnwood from '93 till 2000, correct? <br /><br />Paul Grant  28:20  <br />Right.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  28:21  <br />So, tell me a little bit about how she got elected? How did all of that happen?<br /><br />Paul Grant  28:27  <br />Well, she had been elected twice, by the village to the library board. The board itself chose its chairman, and they elected her Chairman each time. So she was well known in the village. They had a problem that became very serious in the preceding four years. The mayor at the time, I can't think of his name. He didn't handle controversy well, and one of the board members began to question some of the things he was doing, a woman named Cohen. It began very slowly and without much rancor, then it got very, very, rancorous. The members of the board, the village board chose up sides. One newspaper called them, after a year or so, the "Lincolnwood Loonies". Meetings constantly went over one o'clock in the morning. One time after Mrs. Cohen had had an operation, she was still recuperating in bed at home. They were divided one night, so divided that they called a recess and sent someone to get her out of bed and back to the village hall where she could cast the deciding vote on something. When it got really bad, the mayor and Mrs. Cohen both decided to run for election, he for reelection and she for election, and then a gadfly in the village a pretty well known good speaker, he decided to run to. My wife came to me one night and she said, "Paul, what would you say if I said I thought I'd run for mayor?"  I said, "I've been waiting for two months for you to tell me that you're gonna do this." She said, "what do you mean?" I said, "every time you hear the papers come in, the Lincolnwood papers come in, you want to read it first or as soon as you can, and you constantly asked me [inaudbile]". I went to a couple of meetings a matter of fact, and she questioned me I remember I said it was pretty obvious to me. Then I said, "but I'll tell you one thing I don't want you to run unless you're gonna win" and she said "oh don't you worry I'll win." <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  30:56  <br />[Laughter] She was confident.<br /><br />Paul Grant  30:56  <br />Well she was but she was well known as I said because she'd won two elections. She was out there, walking the streets and ringing doorbells and so on for a couple of months. In the four way election she went about... it's a long time since '92, '93, but I think around 47% of the vote, with four people running. The mayor [inaudible] I think about 24, Mrs. Cohen close to that, the fourth man was down around 14 or something. Incidentally, going back to the library at one point, I don't have a copy of it myself, at one point, my wife Madeline Grant and LaDonna Kienitz the library director, wrote an article in the I think, the Illinois State Library Journal, on the trials and tribulations of founding that library. It was an excellent article but as I say, when I moved in here, I lost an awful lot of papers and books and magazines and so on. So I don't have a copy. But-<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  31:06  <br />We could see if we could find that, find that article somewhere in the archives of that publication. Any other final memories? I don't want to keep you much longer. I know you have other commitments, any other final memories about your life or living in Lincolnwood that you would like to share with us?<br /><br />Paul Grant  32:36  <br />Well I don't know, I think I've had a very good life and a very good marriage. The kids aren't in jail. I'm now expecting my third great grandchild, although, given the fact that, the circumstance of life right now I doubt I may ever see at least two of them again. But this is how life goes. You know, I grew up in a world in which people lived maybe to their 60s, there were almost no great grand people, children around. Now people live regularly, and we have we have about 50 people in assisted living here, at least four of them are over number 100 years old. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  33:20  <br />Wow.<br /><br />Paul Grant  33:20  <br />I'm 89 and I sit at a table with two 90 year olds and a woman who's only 73. But we have quite a few in their 90s and this just didn't exist. Kids didn't have to have their parents a burden on them that long back then. I'm very conscious of this although, I still can get around all right and mentally I think I'm okay. I've had a good life, I had a good career, it was varied enough so that it was never boring. They're good neighbors too, good friends that we made. We got out into the community with Madeline, particularly with me trailing along, got out when the library was going and then when she was Mayor and so on. Then she was very active in both the North Suburban Library Association which she headed and the North Suburban Mayor's Association which she was to be the head of the year she died. So we met a lot of people, a lot of good people, a lot of very nice people. Funny things happen, I remember one time we met the alderman [inaudible] to joining us in Chicago because the aldermen had heard that somebody wanted to put a carwash in on the north side of Devon avenue. The alderman didn't like it, my wife said, "well you don't like it, I don't like it even worse than you don't like it! It's not coming in! It's not going to come in on Devon avenue".<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  35:10  <br />Well, I would like to thank you for for your time and taking the time to talk to me and sharing your your Lincolnwood story with us.<br /><br />Paul Grant  35:18  <br />It's been enjoyable. https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/21996/archive/files/06bccf09d049b40aa2c8f7a3195a6b5c.jpeg?Expires=1784764800&Signature=JjF6wGVFonlJ0kXDhLHJBrhWt8jOiHMvjPZfmtmtuXU0hk579SNceV9NYLsSzpRgGfVfz06tADKHai-m7TEpnQt2zM-YhhMOK8SHLfUSKBThrPgGeCu6hVLOF0jhF3TEWRL9ObXe9HSI2px0xD6fx3YwLXUSaWZBelekhZJn3HeCfnQNPQ5RuJ3zJYCJ3cUpdNu9%7E-PrOHeeMe2zvyT8fqNEdZhKwZk077vr4kL%7Eyt1qo8csZXO0nuNkhSH4LzdKMk8qZi4SWuV9KsCugEYSZzUzTNRyrzuQfSbBDgXWHwtnL0NddEq60voYYdhwRZRdHowKhAJvbO3uMjDGfLySWw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 9f527b78d64b9f2857f22e8ff254e64e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My name is Lev Kalmens. I'm an Information Services Librarian at the Lincolnwood Public Library, and this is an interview for the my Lincolnwood story oral history project. Please tell me your name and how long have you lived in Lincolnwood?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  0:19  <br />Okay, my name is Barbara Gerich-Smith. I've lived in Lincolnwood all my life so far, which is 77 years.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  0:26  <br />And how did you- how did your family end up in Lincolnwood, or Tessville, as it was called before?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  0:31  <br />Okay, on my side, my mother- my parents' side, they came to Lincolnwood- because I asked my oldest sister, who is now deceased- when they came, and she said 1935. Which means my sister was five years old. My brothers were probably three and a half, two. Something like that. I didn't come along 'til 1941. But when I did, I came straight from the hospital to a little house, a very old farmhouse at 3810 Fitch Avenue. It's been since torn down, and there's two houses on those two lots now. But they, it was my grandma Reels, my grandma and grandpa Reels, which is my mother's parents' house. But they weren't living there. My parents moved from Chicago to that house, to that old house. And that's how they came. And the other side of the family, my in laws, they came around 1924 from Chicago- of course, it was Tessville, both times- and had a little house in the prairie on the east side of Hamlin. Except Hamlin wasn't there. It was a rut in the road where one of the farmers used to drive his plows down because he had corn growing in those fields. And then they switched lots with Mr. Reinberg. And then my father in law built a Montgomery Ward house at 6910 North Hamlin, which is still there. And that's how we all came to Lincolnwood. [laughs]<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  2:03  <br />What prompted your parents to move from Chicago to Lincolnwood?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  2:07  <br />Probably economics, I don't know. I never really asked, but, you know, they went through the Depression and everything, and I suppose my grandparents' house was available. Nobody was living in it. So they moved there. It's all I can think of. I never asked, really. So they stayed there until my grandparents, one day, decided to move in. According to my mother, they didn't tell them. So got kind of squishy after that, and my dad found- you know, Lincolnwood was little. Everybody knew somebody then, and they heard that the house on East Prairie and Morris, which was owned by Mayor Proesel, was vacant. So my dad went over and asked if they could rent it, and they said yes. And then we moved a whole five blocks down to 6904 East Prairie. Which was a little red house at the corner of Morris and East Prairie where my parents lived for 25 more years, and I until I got married. And that's how we moved five blocks down, but we didn't go very far. And that's where I went to school from. The school was right there, and my parents both worked at the school. My father for 25 years, my mother for 24. I had an uncle who worked there for 16 years, and then I worked there for 35 years. I retired in 2005. Started out in the kitchen and ended up in the administration building, which was great. Was a great place to work. Great place to work with these people that I knew. The little red house had a cute thing. This is just from memory. I call it a creek, but it was really a drainage ditch. Right at Morris and East Prairie. And the thing about this little drainage ditch, if you will, is it had a little bridge over it, and that's how I would go to school. I'd go through the yard, over through the hedges, over that bridge and through the other hedges and over to school. But in the springtime, when we had a lot of rain, that whole creek would flood and the bridge would be floating. So I had to go through the street and around to go to school. But I always got a kick out of that. And in the winter, if we were lucky and we had rain, it would flood again, and it would turn to ice. And I have a picture somewhere of my girlfriend with her skates on, skating on that overflown creek. I thought it always was cute.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  4:30  <br />What are some of your earliest memories of living in Lincolnwood?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  4:35  <br />The earliest memory I can remember, and you're probably going to laugh. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  4:40  <br />[laughs]<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  4:40  <br />I remember, I was in the little house that my grandparents owned. I was laying on the carpet, and we had the radio on. And there were two windows on the side of the radio, and there was a- it was thunderstorming. And I don't know if something hit, if the lightning hit a branch on the tree or the wind blew it. It knocked the glass so that it broke, and a piece of the glass somehow hit my lip, and I was bleeding. And I'll always remember my mother picked me up from one arm, my sister the other, and they carried me out to the kitchen by the sink to do that. That's about my earliest memory of that house. Kind of traumatic, wasn't it?<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  5:24  <br />A little bit, yeah.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  5:25  <br />And the other one was I was going to, I was going to kindergarten. And I was still in that house at the time. It's the only time I got to ride the school bus, which my father drove for that first year. I really liked driving- riding in the school bus. But my friend and I, we went to kindergarten together, and we had come home. My mother was working at the school at time, my grandma was taking care of me. She was living there then. And there were fields all around. And my friend and I were playing in this field, and there was like a dugout thing where it looked like they took sand or something out. And the two of us, we were just, you know, kids playing, and I jumped into that hole- another traumatic experience. There was a coke bottle sticking out of my leg, and I had to pull it out. And my grandma bundled it all up and and when my mother came home- we didn't go to the doctor! We poured peroxide on it, and she bandaged it all up. For years, I had a scab there, but I guess my memories there are kind of traumatic, I don't know. But other than that, I loved it. I had two friends there that I- they're lifelong friends. Still today, I still see them. And then when I moved five blocks, there was another group of kids. And they were all boys, except for one girl, and she wasn't left off Cherry Lane for a while. And so I became quite, quite a tomboy. I didn't have a choice. [laughs] <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  6:47  <br />Right. <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  6:48  <br />So I played baseball and we built forts. We built a lot of forts. We had one really good one, which we got in trouble for, because we built it right on East Prairie, right on the street, kind of. But it was all field, like I told you. And right across the street, that house is still there, it's now owned by Mrs. Roman, and this older couple lived there. And they resented the fact of looking out their window seeing this hut. Actually, it was a very good hut. [laughs] So they complained to the police, and the police came and it was one of our, my friend's uncles, as a matter of fact, that told us we had to tear it down. And I didn't- we told our parents. And, I don't know, a group of the- including my dad and I think my brothers and his friends- they actually moved that fort, hut, whatever you want to call it. Picked it up. They put boards on the side. They picked it up and they moved it back into the field where they couldn't see it anymore. And then everybody was happy, and we still had our fort. But of course, they tore that all down when they built Todd Hall. Because they just leveled all that land, you know. And again, there was a creek there too, only it was a drainage ditch. I don't know what else to tell you. I went to a brand new school. It was beautiful. Just loved that school. Still do. But what it looked like before, I wish you could have seen it. It was really nice. So I went to Lincolnwood School from kindergarten to eighth grade. Had a lot of good friends. At first, we were all in the same class, because there was only one first grade, second grade, until fourth grade, when Fairview came over and we had more kids. So then we got two classes of, you know... But we still kind of knew all everybody. And I was delighted when they put the gym in, because I loved sports. I don't know where to go from there. Had good friends. Still have some.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  8:45  <br />What were some of the, you know, fun things that you did with your friends growing up?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  8:50  <br />Oh God, we got into all kinds of trouble. Well, in summertime, we built that fort. But we also played baseball, mostly the boys. Sorry, that's all I had. Was boys. We played baseball. We went through the sprinkler. One of us, who was very brave, would drive over to Devon Avenue. This was a big deal- I know you're going to laugh- and get a thing of Kool Aid and come home, and we thought we were really that was really neat, because we could have Kool Aid. We go to the Skokie Show on Saturdays, which cost a whole quarter. One of the parents would drive us and pick us up. Thankfully. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  9:29  <br />And where was this?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  9:31  <br />In Skokie, the Skokie Show. That's the only one that was around. And, gosh, what else did we do? We got into some- oh, we did- [sighs]. We used to- when they put the- this is a terrible thing to tell. I think of it and I shudder, how silly kids can be. How stupid. When they built the gymnasium, there was a porch that came out and there were steps going up. And you have to, you'd have to see it to understand. And on top of that porch- which is up there- it's gone now. They enclosed it. We would- and underneath was a cement sidewalk that went into a door, and over on the other side was landscaped and a little hill. And us silly kids would perch on the edge of that porch and we'd shove off with our legs and land on the other side of the landscape. But when I think of it, if when any of us had missed we would have gone down on that sidewalk. See what silly things kids do? Nuts. One kid jumped off the top of the monkey bars. One of my friends. That's the old fashioned monkey bars. He was the only one who did it, though. The rest of us only did it from the next one. But I mean, those were bad things. You know. I don't know if you want to know about it- with all these prairies, we would get prairie fires. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  10:56  <br />Oh, really?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  10:56  <br />I don't know if someone started them, but I remember many times my dad and other men and my brothers, my teenage brothers, they'd have burlap bags and they'd wet them, and they'd fight these fires, you know. Never did the prairie much harm, I have to tell you. It at all sprouted out very nicely. And my dad always had a garden in that prairie, so. But I mean, it was something different. You know? Those prairie fires. I can remember that. Over by Fitch, all the land east of Hamlin up to Bell and Howell and the railroad tracks. And there was an Illinois Tool Works there. It was all prairie, and a lot of it was in corn. Huffman's had their cornfield-pumpkin field. And like I told you, Hamlin was just a rut. But in that section, believe it or not, sidewalks had been put in because they thought at one time they were going to build houses later. Now it's all, [inaudible]. There is some houses on Hamlin, but behind that's all business, as you know. And my friends and I, my two friends on Fitch that were still there, my two oldest. One day, we decided to go down to the railroad tracks on these sidewalks with our bikes. And you'd go up and down where there was no sidewalk you'd go down and up into the next sidewalk. We got all the way down- which seemed to us a very long way- all the way down to the railroad tracks. And imagine our surprise. We turn around, there was a prairie fire, and we're going, "Oh, this is nice!" because there's a lot of smoke. So we decided we better head back. So we started heading back, and one of us, I don't know which one, whoever was in the lead, fell off the bike. And now he was in the ditch. So we all, two of us joined him, and there was so much smoke. It was like, you know, it was not fun. It was gagging you. So we kind of dragged our bikes while we were in this ditch until we got kind of out of it. We kind of smelled from smoke after that. But that's how I mean about the forest fires. I mean not the forest fires, the prairie fires. All of a sudden they were there. I don't know how they started, or if someone started them, but that was one of our so-called adventures. I don't know if you want to know about a fellow that- his name, I only knew his first name. His name was Frank. And he- the story I heard from my in laws was that he once had a little money, but he was kind of cheated out of it by another neighbor. And the neighbor, sort of in response, gave him a little bit of land to live on. And frankly, he lived in a shack right on- behind what would be Froman's house. Right off East Prairie. And right in front of a house that's also been torn down that the Shays lived in. And he was behind Shays between those two houses in this shack. And his nickname was Prairie Frank. And he wasn't a bad man. He didn't, didn't do- have any harm toward us kids or anything. But he would come and he would ask my parents, could he get water? You know, from the taps or the hoses. And most all the neighbors there knew him, and they were all very good to him. They gave him water, some gave him some food. And unfortunately, he passed away in that shack. And it's been since torn down. And, you know, so he was kind of a character. I don't know what else to talk about, really.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  14:37  <br />How has Lincolnwood changed over the years? <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  14:40  <br />Oh, jeez. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  14:41  <br />I mean, you've seen it from the ground up.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  14:43  <br />Let me put it to you this way. When my parents moved out there, my dad's brother said to him, "Why'd you move out to the boondocks?" It was like living in the country. I mean, all of us kids went out and played. We never thought about- our house was never, never locked. Anyone could- we didn't have anything- they could walk in there anytime. And I think a lot of the neighbors' houses, half the time, weren't locked. It was, it was wonderful. I loved it. My sons were very jealous. You know, you got to grow up here when you could do all kinds of things and build forts and, you know, play and have a good time. And it, you know, it's just so changed now. I mean, at East, at Toohey and McCormick, there was an old farmhouse there. And I think it was, you could- we'd rent horses there. What do you- a livery, whatever. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  15:40  <br />Mhm. A stable. <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  15:41  <br />Because I know I have an old, old, very old newspaper clipping that's falling apart with my sister on a horse with a bunch of other people. And they were horseback riding down McCormick Boulevard, I guess. As a matter of fact, if I remember right, my grandfather Gerich, which was my dad's. He was- both my grandparents came over from a little, tiny village in Yugoslavia called [inaudible] around 1911 or so. It's strange, they were both from the same town, and my mother and father got married. And he farmed at first, my grandparent, my grandpa Gerich. And he rented land where Queen of All Saints is now, and also at Touhy and McCormick. And my dad said, when they lived near queen of All Saints, when they plowed, they'd find arrowheads. Because a lot of Indians, Potawatomis, I guess, were there at that time. Not that time, but before that. And as my dad said when he retired and they interviewed him, they just threw them in a cigar box. They didn't think anything of these. But I think it's kind of cool. That there was traces of Indians there, you know. But my grandparents finally ended up in Chicago on Clifton with a three story apartment building. How in the world, both sets of my grandparents saved money- I mean, they were just manual laborers, the guys. You know, to even buy something amazes me. God bless them for coming here, though, because I didn't have to go through the second world war like my poor uncle did, who was left there. But, you know, it's just like everything else. Things change. I mean, I could tell you there was a vacant lot across the street, you know. There were homes that burned down that were there. There was a greenhouse, another greenhouse, between our house, the little red house on East Prairie and Morris and Crawford. There was a greenhouse right behind it. And there was an alley that went all the way from right past our house. Right from East Prairie and then you'd go up a hill, around the greenhouse and out to Crawford Avenue. You could do that. It's, course, it's all gone and there's no alley there. You can't do that anymore. It's all school property. But I used to love to ride- it was, all the alleys were cinder. You'd better not fall down on them. They hurt. And I used to love to go up that hill, but I liked coming down better. It was fun. So there was that greenhouse, and there was a greenhouse on Touhy and East Prairie. That was Myers'. And the only one left, of course, is the one over here, Erhausen's. Which sell flowers in the spring, and they've been here a long time. Unfortunately, the two older brothers are gone. So it's the kids that carry on. And I don't know how much- I mean, they're my son's age- so I don't know how much- unless they were told stories, of course, like I was. So everything's grown just like everything else. I mean, look at the school. Started out with like 285 kids, and at the peak it was over 2,000. Now it's settled down to around 1,200. But it was beautiful school.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  15:42  <br />How did you get started working at the school?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  17:36  <br />Well, as I told you, my mother worked. My dad was the only custodian at the time and drove the school bus. One for the east side, one for the west side, another fellow drove the west side. They were free school busses. Which were- they used to have Lincolnwood days, and whatever profit they made, they bought those two school busses. But remember, it was a small school. Lots of kids walked. So, my mother started working part time in the lunchroom when I went to kindergarten. And I grew up, blah, blah, blah. And I've had my two kids. And I think they ran out of substitute helpers, part time workers, in the lunchroom. So they asked me if I wanted to do it. It was just a part time at first. And the lunchroom is where I stayed for, I think, nine years? And then I went to look for a full time job because I thought I would need it. And something opened up at the administration building, just by chance. And it was on the switchboard, and I went over, and then I started working in the switch- on the switchboard. And then later became secretary to the assistant superintendent, where I remained. That's how I ended up there. And it was nice, because I could walk right to work, you know. Didn't have to do it. I was home. Well, no, by that time the kids were older and I did work through the summer. Of course, when I worked in the lunchroom when they were young then, little, I was home for the summer. So that worked out perfectly. You know, they were old enough later to look after themselves in the summer. And I was close by if they needed me. So that's that story.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  20:55  <br />Who are some of the people that you met while working at the school district? <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  21:00  <br />Wow. Well, when I started working there, Dr. Garelick, Marvin Garelick, was the superintendent. Ron- Dr. Ron Berwald- was the assistant superintendent. And of course, the gals- I was the youngest one there. I think they just patted me on the head. Anyway, I worked with the gal that was in charge of some of the business stuff, Mrs. Holt. No, she was Miss Holt, sorry. I can't, trying to remember her first name. I can't. There was Marlene Lawson, who was Mr. Moody, Mr. Eugene Moody, who was the business manager. She was his secretary. Edith Binus, who was Dr. Barewall's secretary. And Marian Von Holt, who was Dr. Garelick's secretary. And they were a really good group to work with. Really. I always said I always respected Dr. Garelick and Mr. Moody. Mr. Moody was a lot of fun. He'd have these sayings. We called them Moody-isms. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  22:00  <br />[laughs]<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  22:01  <br />And it was a pleasure to work with them. But then through time, I worked with other superintendents. And, you know, the staff changes. And they were all pleasant to work with, I have to say. I just enjoyed my time there.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  22:18  <br />What were some of those Moody-isms? <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  22:20  <br />Oh gosh, I can't even think of them all, but he would come up with some. You'd just have to laugh at him. And I really can't tell you some of them.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  22:30  <br />[laughs]<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  22:31  <br />So I'm gonna skip that part. But he was from Southern Illinois, as Dr Garelick was, and I think they were- I don't want to say, they understood each other. I think because they came from the same region, same age, you know. And they worked wonderful together, I thought. You know. It was a pleasure to work with them, and I always respected both of them. And the other girls, ladies, too. I don't know what else I could say about that time. It sure went fast. I'll tell you that. You know, 35 years, pfft. It's a long time.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  23:08  <br />Now I saw on- I saw a picture that there is a street named after you. <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  23:14  <br />Yeah.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  23:16  <br />Which is just at the corner of-<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  23:17  <br />Morse and East Prairie.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  23:18  <br />-Morse and East Prairie, correct. So how did that come about?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  23:23  <br />Well, when I retired, they had a party for me. And I was, actually, I was in awe of how many people came. The teachers and people I had worked with that had retired, they came. And Dr. Garelick came, and Mr. Moody, and some of the ladies from my first group came. And it was really wonderful. My sister was there, my husband, my kid, and even my sister in law came. And my friend, one of my oldest friends, one of the guys, came. And they presented me with this big, long thing, which I had no idea what it was. And I opened it up, and it was the street sign at which part I cried because my sister cried, because I was very happy that they put my maiden name in there, Barbara Garrick Smith. And it was put at that corner because I felt that it represented not just me for my 35 years, but my dad for his 20- I'm going to get choked up now- 25 years, my mom for 24 and my uncle for 16. And it was at that corner where the little red house was, and I felt it was an honor to them. Not just to me. And my sister and I just looked at each other, and we both had tears in our eyes. Mainly because I could see my dad smiling down at us for that. You know, it wasn't just for me. I felt it was for my whole family. So I was very- I don't know whose idea it was. Someone told me it was the principal at Lincoln Hall then, but God bless her. And so we had a picture taken. Our family makes homemade sausage. And I said, whoever wants to come, come and we'll take a picture by that sign. So there's a sign. There's one picture with all of us, whoever came underneath that sign. Which I think is cool. So that's how that happened. But really it's for my family, not just for me. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  25:20  <br />That's really incredible that, you know, you had so many, kind of generations almost, working.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  25:25  <br />It is. I guess it's nepotism, I'm sorry. But I was a good worker! [laughs]<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  25:25  <br />And what are your- tell me about, a little bit about, your kids growing up in Lincolnwood. <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  25:25  <br />Oh, my kids growing up in Lincolnwood. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  25:30  <br />And how that was maybe a little different from yours.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  25:39  <br />They were lucky in this respect: we lived next to the greenhouse. And of course, the Smith family and their house and family knew each other for years. In fact, John, who was the older of the two boys. I shouldn't call them boys. They were men. Used to tell me- he was, he was four years younger than my husband. Husband was older than me. He was four years older. But he said to me one time, you know, when I get home from school, I used to like to go over to the Smith house, because I always knew Marvin was working on something. And they'd say, "He's in the basement". And he said, "He was always doing something". So I enjoyed it. You know, he'd go to the dump and he'd get, he'd get pieces of bikes and put them together to make a bike. He built a huge, huge glider. It was- I have a picture of it- the size of the door of the garage. That's how big it was. And he has his sister and another neighborhood gal- picture with it. It was amazing. He lost it over Lake Michigan. He got it up in the air, and it went over Lake Michigan. Never saw it again. Uh, Forgot what the question was. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  26:52  <br />I was just- I was asking about how your children's expereince, growing up here.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  26:56  <br />Okay. So they were lucky, because they had the Erhausens. And they they still have that land in back, if you ever go down Hamlin. And so they played a lot with them, and so they had a little bit of room, whatever you want to call it. And they did build a fort on their land. They did do that. And when they were a little bit older, actually, there's a grassy part there. And the neighborhood kids, plus the Erhausen kids, they'd be over there after supper, and the uncle and the dad, they would- one would be the pitcher and one would be the catcher- and all the kids played baseball together on that land. So they were lucky that way. And in the winter, they could actually go inside the greenhouse, from what I understand. And there, you call those things beds. You know, this was before they grew flowers. At that time, they grew tomatoes in the wintertime. Very good tomatoes, I might add. I wish they still did it. So there wasn't- they had some room, and they played with the cars and the dirt and stuff like that. So that way they were lucky, you know. And course, they did have the school yard. But, you know, it was really funny. My friends and I, when we were there, we used that school yard. We played baseball on it, you know, and everything. The kids didn't seem to do that. That was just when the pool was coming in. And really, my kids really didn't even go to the pool much, but they weren't as happy as I was growing up, but they were fairly okay. You know, they went to Lincolnwood School and Niles West at that time. And that's about all I can say. They seemed to enjoy themselves. They had friends. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  28:45  <br />Do you have grandchildren? <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  28:47  <br />I have- each of my sons has a son. I have step grandchildren. I even have a step great grandchild. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  28:59  <br />Wow.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  29:00  <br />So yeah. So I only just have two boys carrying on the name. I need one for each boy. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  29:08  <br />And where are they growing up? <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  29:09  <br />My son, my older son, lives in McHenry. He was a Skokie fireman. Became a lieutenant for 31 years. He just retired in September. He lives there. My other son, my younger son, lives in Minnesota. In a little town. It's like a blink. Don't open your eye too much, cuz you'll go through it. That's where he lives. And he fixes huge, huge copy machines. He has to get a lot of training for it. Did you ever look at, inside one of those? I don't even know what they're looking at, but that's what he does. So they're kind of each a little bit far away from me. But McHenry, at least, is maybe an hour. Depends on the traffic, 15 minutes. So. My son, very much- the older son- very much, takes after his father in that he'll build things. He's very good at what he does. I have to tell you. You know, he knows a little bit about plumbing, electricity, building. He and his wife have a shop in Lake Geneva. That's about almost two years old now. And they bought the building and he's rehabbing the two little apartments upstairs. Beautiful job. Takes after his dad that way. Sure didn't get it from me, but he got his love of history from me. I'll tell you, he did a lot for the Skokie Fire Department and the Skokie Historical Society. He had the Amish build a replica of the first hand-pushed, whatever you want to call it, fire engine. And that's at the Historical Society. And then he managed to get back an old pumper that they sold on Mount Prospect, which was rotting. And he and the other guys fixed it up, and it's in the Historical Society. Then he, before he left, he made three huge dining room tables for each of the stations with their emblems and everything on it. The guys helped, too. And they have fire hydrants for legs. He left his mark. So, anyway, kind of proud of him for that.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  31:30  <br />Well it sounds like you definitely, I think, you left your mark on Lincolnwood as well.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  31:33  <br />Eh, my family did, I don't know about me.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  31:36  <br />Your family did.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  31:36  <br />And even my father in law, believe it or not, had a little bitty, dinky, little thing where he ran for trustee of Lincolnwood. Which I get a kick out of. With Nick Huffman. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  31:37  <br />Mhm.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  31:38  <br />They didn't win of course. Proesel had that all locked up. But yeah, Smith's been here a long time.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  31:57  <br />If you had to sum it up, what has been your favorite part about living in Lincolnwood, over all these years?<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  32:03  <br />Oh, wow. How do you sum up a lifetime? I liked the fact that when I was a kid, I had all that freedom. Along with the other friends of mine, that I still have. My oldest two friends. We still get together. God bless them. And I'm still in touch with a few of the ones from where I moved, you know, to the red house. Still in touch with a few of those and some of my other friends from- we went from kindergarten up together. They have a few of those yet. The fact that it was so free, you know, you could go outside, you could play. You know, you never even thought about someone kidnapping you or anything except- except when that William Heirens supposedly kidnapped that little girl. Then it was a little scary, because he lived right on Touhy Avenue. That wasn't- was it Touhy Avenue and Kendale? Anyway, that's where he lived. So that was a little bit scary. That was pretty close to home. But other than- Oh, would you like to hear an interesting thing? <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  33:15  <br />I would. <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  33:15  <br />I think this is interesting. When I was still living on Fitch, I was about four or five years old, down on Fitch and East Prairie. At that time, there was about, oh, it was a pretty nice size lot. More than one lot I'm talking about. Next to it was my friend's house, and then next to his house was my other friend's house. Both torn down. But at that time, it was this nice, big space. And later on, we played baseball there too, at that place. But I was about five years old. It was before we moved. And I remember this, my mother would not let me go out one day because this, I'm going to call it a caravan of about three or four horse drawn trailers. I don't know what you want to call them. I wouldn't call them like, like when you cross the prairie, but they were these little things. And these, and I don't want to call them this. It sounds racist. I'm not trying to be but they were like gypsies. That's what probably my parents called them, and they camped in that area. My mother would not let me go out, because, you know these stories about them kidnapping children. She wouldn't let me go outside until- they only stayed there one night. I think the police came and told them they could only stay there and they had to move the next day, which they did. But I still remember that. That my mom wouldn't let me out because they might kidnap me. But I thought that was interesting. To think that's in 1946, you know. It's kind of crazy. <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  35:00  <br />Yeah. <br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  35:02  <br />But aside from that, it was very free. So I don't know what else I can add to that. You know, it was- I enjoyed it. I know sometimes my son, you know, thinks I should move somewhere else. But I think my friends are here, you know. And he's not that far away that I can't, you know, see him. And I, you know, now, with the modern technology and everything you can keep in touch. And so it was wonderful growing up in Lincolnwood. I'd do it over and again in an instant. It was also nice going to Lincolnwood school. It was a beautiful school. And now it's Township High School. The original was also beautiful. I'm sorry they tore it down. So anyway, I don't know what else to say to you.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  35:53  <br />I would like to thank you for taking the time and talking to me and sharing your Lincolnwood Story with us.<br /><br />Barbara Gerich-Smith  35:59  <br />I hope I hit everything I thought of. <em><br /></em> https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/21996/archive/files/9e56e7f231610a90db16f42f672a8244.jpg?Expires=1784764800&Signature=NvERV5Hlcnqc3-CQeGCH3xhgmk-wKFypOHqjK-E5W96rCK-0fVZbEAG4xGBvy6BwZjYeZS1NOAIooy6u0VPg%7ErdIuYDZp9tayVbz5bijiov-reB8H%7EJ-vDCn0%7Elh6VszJio1fV9Fgyfqp7akBZqYgNgYZExxSgM53duHIKPKyTvsPODmBxxZCsABtz2aMrhH5PR3FY-XLfbWTdzSFDLB3ShEAp1PVuHjlmfE6bdwL0hLP8pXIQrZ0W5kLLixQT5ltwR70lCoe%7EiiARUuc5pPYcE8cdtoC7Qx4ExN05Ad%7EP9ZodFyncpl4aRqVPvG2USVYTo-6wk21008Poe0KSRKUw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM c7e688b95017f7fd3970a262542ac0c2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In this interview she talks about growing up in Lincolnwood as well as the early days of the Lincolnwood Library. Beth’s mother, Madeleine Grant, was a driving force in establishing the Lincolnwood Library and served as its first board president. Madeleine Grant also served as Lincolnwood mayor from 1993-2000.<br /><br /><em>This interview was recording using Zoom.</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>The views and opinions expressed in interviews do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Lincolnwood Public Library, including its Board of Trustees and staff.<br /><br /><br /><br /></em>TRANSCRIPT:<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  0:00  <br />My name is Lev Kalmens. I'm an Information Services Librarian at the Lincolnwood Public Library, today's August 17 2020. And today, I'm interviewing Beth Keno for my Lincolnwood story, our oral history project. Beth, thank you for joining me, and what is your Lincolnwood story?<br /><br />Beth Keno  0:19  <br />My gosh, I don't know if I have a single story. I guess I'll start with I lived there since I was about a year old. I think from '63 to probably '86, I think it was about, so I was there for quite a while, over 20 some years. Going back to my earliest memories, that early snow storm back in the, I guess the late 60s, and I found pictures, which I'm going to send to you, and just you're so little and you remember the mounds of snow. But you also realized that everybody there shoveled their own driveway, as you know they didn't have snow plows or trucks with plows on back then. So when you look at the pictures, you really appreciate the amount of snow and the effort it took to clear the driveways and the streets and all that. After I left my mom became mayor so that was pretty exciting, and watching her start her public career there with the Library; which she started the demonstration library with a number of other people and got that passed and built a library after the building roof collapsed a few days after they closed. So that was that was pretty exciting. We went to the Lincolnwood schools, we were across the street for many years on Harding, and as I got older I found it harder and harder to make it to class on time, even though we just had to cross Pratt. So it was a lot of fun. I remember going to some of the teachers, and going through the three different buildings, and all the great people that we met and friends we made. So I guess that's it. My earliest childhood memories of the school was I was an identical twin and so people like to talk to us and we were told as little kids, and I'm reminded sometimes as I run into people even today, they remember that we said we weren't allowed to talk to strangers. So anybody that would talk to us, we would say "we're not allowed to talk to strangers", even though they were other kids in our age or going to school. So it's kind of fun. We moved from Harding and then we went over towards McCormick and Pratt for the last probably 10 years and down from the Milk Pail which I just saw a feed on, on the Facebook group. So reminiscing about the Milk Pail, lots of fond memories, the Jewel there at the corner which is the library now, and being able to buy your chocolate bars with your allowance for that week and then turning into Pier One. Pier One then provided all the holiday gifts for our parents for years and our siblings. So those are some of my instant- and there's the food, then there's the bagels and Biasetti's, gosh that was like a throwback trying to remember what that one was. I worked at McDade for a couple of years. So a lot of fond memories of that and working and meeting lots of different people and ordering out and partying and having a having a good time.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  3:57  <br />Well, let's kind of start at the beginning with your parents. Were they originally, did they already live in Lincolnwood? I mean, they were living here when you were born. But where did they come from to Lincolnwood?<br /><br />Beth Keno  4:12  <br />So they didn't live in Lincolnwood when my sister and I were born, they moved there a year, they were from Chicago, outside Chicago, so they moved when we were about a year old. My father's still there, my mother died, 20 years ago now in office when she was the mayor and my dad is still there. He's over at the Lincolnwood Place, just went to Lincolnwood Place about a year ago. But prior to that he was still active in the community, he was on the zoning board and some other committees so they've been active forever.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  4:51  <br />Do you know why they decided to move to Lincolnwood specifically?<br /><br />Beth Keno  4:54  <br />I don't know specifically why Lincolnwood, I know the church Queen of All Saints was important, so we're not far from the church. We're raised Catholic so we went to church on Sundays. I honestly never asked them, it seemed like a great place to live so I thought it was a good choice.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  5:17  <br />They have lived in Chicago their whole lives prior to moving here, right?<br /><br />Beth Keno  5:21  <br />Yes, my dad grew up in Oak Park, my mother lived in Chicago.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  5:28  <br />What did they do? Obviously before your mother became mayor, was she always involved in communities?<br /><br />Beth Keno  5:37  <br />She was never political, she was a teacher before she had the five of us and after she had the five of us, she went back and worked at some point after my youngest brother got old enough to go to school. She worked at the religious ed center at Queens and she would do a lot of volunteering. We always called them "meetings", so she always had meetings all the time. So she did lots of volunteering, my dad worked for Loyola University down on Lake Shore and he also taught one night a week, he taught labor relations. So that's what they did. My mom's kind of activism, I don't know where it came from, she volunteered lots of times. I don't know how she got roped into starting the library, but I know it was a passion of a number of people there in Lincolnwood, and she ended up kind of taking charge of it. She became the president of the library board, Lincolnwood Library Board board after they--<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  6:44  <br />Right<br /><br />Beth Keno  6:45  <br />After they were successful in the referendum. Then somebody, and my dad'll be a good person to ask, they like convinced her to run for mayor. But she had a long career before that. She was on the library board for many years, then she became the president of the North Suburban Library system. So she was all active and she won, I think there was a couple of winners, of Northshore Volunteer of the Year. Then she was convinced to run for Mayor, surprised all of us, but she had a little stint in real estate there in between all of the activism and all the volunteering. She knows, I don't know if you know, but they put an award in my mom's name, a Volunteer of the Year award, and [inaudbile] she was an avid volunteer and all of that, and you can do a lot just by volunteering.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  7:45  <br />What are your memories of growing up in Lincolnwood? So you said you went through all the Lincolnwood schools, what are your memories? Who were your childhood friends? What did you guys do?<br /><br />Beth Keno  7:53  <br />Gosh well we had a lot of friends, we did like I mentioned, we literally lived right across the street from the schools. I remember playing girls softball, it was the 16 inch softball, and being Girl Scouts. I remember all that; we would go to the park district in the summer for camp and we'd ride our bikes there. I remember one of my favorite days was watermelon day, because we got watermelon and we had a lot of fun. Then eventually they put the pool in which wasn't there when we first started but a few years into it they added the pool, which was awesome, right? So you'd go swimming and hang out at the pool by the time we were preteens, we were having a lot of fun at the pool. So we had lots of friends, people live right by us, and people that didn't and we were pretty active with everything. Trick or treating oh my gosh, we'd walk for miles trick or treating, we'd spend the whole day going out because, it was safe and was a lot of fun. I just remember all those times when the snow- making forts, but the end of our street, I don't know what was there, I think it was the back of the bank and they always pile the snow there so I remember us making forts there and having kind of big snowball fights. My mother had a bell, so that's how she got us all inside to eat. My dad or my mom would ring the bell and then we knew to come in because we played outside all the time. We just didn't play inside, we didn't watch a lot of TV, we were running around the neighborhood playing over at the park. They had a great camp program there at Proesel Park so a lot of people went to camp there. I remember batons, I can still twirl a baton and I did win one year, won the baton award. I remember that they always had a big at the end of the camp, they always had a big fair or something where you could win gold fish and win all sorts of prizes and that was a lot of fun. A lot of people went and it was put on by the park district and the camp counselors and if you went to camp there, they always helped you win. I remember that, it was a lot of fun.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  10:37  <br />So what were some of your favorite restaurants or maybe some of your favorite places to order out from?<br /><br />Beth Keno  10:44  <br />We just drove down Touhy Avenue a couple weeks ago and I was so disappointed. I don't know why it left but 31 flavors, I still remember the single column was 25 cents. You know it was like a big treat, we'd get so many different flavors. So that was one of my favorite places. Then when we moved over to the McCormick and Pratt area, a Dairy Queen, the Dairy Queen on Devon and St. Louis. I know there was a question out there on the Facebook page about that but it was St. Louis because we went there every other day or something to eat ice cream and because it was walking distance from our house so it was really easy to do it. It's kind of funny because we were trying to remember the name and it's Biasetti's, Biasetti's Pizza and the Italian food. I remember specifically when I worked at McDade because we always ordered out dinner and that was some of our favorites. New York Bagel, it's so cool that they're still there. That was and still is by far the best bagels. Before it was right there in the corner, what's the place right now that's on the corner of Lincoln? Lettuce Entertain your restaurant? <br /><br />Lev Kalmens  12:01  <br />It's L Woods now.<br /><br />Beth Keno  12:03  <br />L Woods yeah, so it was Bones before that. That I remember and then it was something else before that, I'm not very good at remembering all the old names, but something was always at that corner. Someplace that we all loved going and having dinner there. Then you had your Bunny Hutch and your miniature golf that was right there right behind or right next to Bunny Hutch so had your lunch, and your golf and there used to be a sub sandwich place that was really good. I think that was up on Cicero, I think it was Cicero and Devon somewhere over there was a sub and I can't remember the sub place; I'm terrible at names. Those are some of the best memories I- then there was the one that you threw the peanut shells on the floor, Ground Round. I remember Ground Round is there on Lincoln Avenue, on Devon and kind of Lincoln I think it was it was right over there. That place was you walked in, you're crunching on stuff and it had the free popcorn. So you started with the free popcorn. You had the peanuts and you threw them around and a lot of good times at Ground Round.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  13:19  <br />Going kind of back to family life, so you said you mentioned you have there's a total of five of you? So you have four siblings? What were some of the family traditions? Or maybe vacations you took together? Not specific to Lincolnwood, but just kind of more so in general.<br /><br />Beth Keno  13:40  <br />So I had an identical twin sister, we were the oldest and we have three younger brothers. So we would always kind of go either to Michigan or to Wisconsin. Wisconsin Dells was a big one for vacations because there were five of us, my youngest brother was, I think five or six years younger, so it took him a while to be able to play at our level. But you know, we had a we had a, you know, small little baseball team, so we would, you know, go over to school, you know, because they had the front lawn and you know, practice our softball skills. I still remember that because, you know, there was that my, my dad and all of us, you know, six of us then going out and and getting a little baseball game going. And playing and going you know, going to the pool was something we all loved doing that and the concession stand was always a favorite at the pool. And in doing those things, you know, we we all like I said we were always outside. So we were on our bikes all the time. We actually when we went to camp, we rode our bikes unless it was raining. So so we rode all the way from you know, cross the street Pratt and Harding all the way over to Proesel, for many years.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  14:56  <br />What are some things that you remember about going to school in Lincolnwood<br /><br />Beth Keno  15:00  <br />I still remember I think it was called Mr. Pollster was the science teacher every year and I don't I don't know if they still do this or not. But, um, you had, it was a science project where you had to take an egg that was not cooked. And you had to create--and I think there are dimensions like you couldn't be any bigger than certain dimensions--and you had to secure this egg so it wouldn't crack when it was thrown off the roof. So the project, what you know, with every year is a date and you had to build your thing and wrap your egg. And then Mr. Pollster would go up to the roof, and he would, you know, throw everybody's project down onto the ground. And then, based on whether or not your egg broke, it's kind of your grade. But it was I know, there was supposedly some science, I don't remember that part of it, I just remember how much fun that was, you know, to come up with some way to help, you know, to create a contraption. So once thrown off the roof of Lincoln Hall, it didn't, it didn't crack. And I still remember and I don't remember what I wrapped it in. But I did not break mine did not break. So I did that new thing I remember, I don't know why I just remember this the other day was, I don't know if it was it was first science class. Again, I don't know what grade it was, it was probably in Lincoln Hall again, where you had to go collect leaves from different trees. And then there were the bonus trees. And you know, you got extra points if you get leaves from these trees, and you had to press the leaves. And it was quite the project. And, you know, again, got graded on how well you pressed the leaves and which leaves you've got and how complete you made your project. So I I still remember those, those big projects, and they were they were a lot of fun. Another one I remember and this was early, this must have been like second grade first or second grade, I remember you had to write a story about your mother. And you had to go through magazines and pick out a picture. And I didn't know it at the time. I didn't, didn't figure it out for a long time. But somehow I managed to pick a picture of Marilyn Monroe. And I don't know if people see my mom, but my mom's not even blonde. And so, so I hopefully she was flattered. Um, you know, because my mom saved that stuff for a long time. And I remember going, "oh, this is Marilyn Monroe" when you had to go pick a picture of your mother, but she was that beautiful to me. Um, so those are some of my, you know, kind of school things that I remember growing up anyway.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  17:42  <br />Did you remember what you wanted to be?<br /><br />Beth Keno  17:45  <br />I wanted to be a lot of things. I mean, I still remember we did a project on architecture. And we had so I for a while I wanted to be an architect. You know, you know, when you're young, everything is kind of interesting. I knew I didn't want to be a doctor, because I really wasn't into science. I hated dissecting, I still remember the dissected the, frogs. That was really disgusting. And so I don't know, you know, I ended up getting a degree in psychology and moving into, you know, doing consulting work. And I've had a couple of businesses, so I don't really know if there was anything, really my early childhood education that kind of, you know, moved me in that direction. I'm sure my mom's influence of liking to take charge of things helped. helped move me in a direction that was about taking charge of things.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  18:37  <br />So tell me a little bit about your family now?<br /><br />Beth Keno  18:40  <br />I have one daughter, we grew. She grew up in Highland Park. And she's now she's now back in Chicago. She was in New York. She she she got her Master's in Public Health at the University of Michigan, went to undergrad at University of Michigan and then went out to New York and got started in her career and came back almost two years ago. So she's down in Chicago, and now she's, you know, working from home because everybody's working from home. So she's, uh, she's, she's pretty engaged and really likes doing, you know, in what she does and has a real passion for public health. So it's exciting to see her--<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  19:19  <br />Have you passed on any of your own childhood traditions onto her?<br /><br />Beth Keno  19:24  <br />Well, that's a good question. I mean, we for years we did we always had our we had certain holidays, you know, and then then, when my mother passed, those holidays had to get shifted over especially Christmas. And so so we still have or I don't know what we'll do this year, but we still had the whole Christmas and for years, we did the Easter egg hunt. And that was, you know, until the kids got too old and now we've got some yeah, maybe not quite. Yeah, they're probably old enough. Some some I have some great nephews now so that we can, you know, go back to that tradition, once we, you know, get back to our old normal.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  20:08  <br />What do you remember about your mother's involvement in getting the Library off the ground?<br /><br />Beth Keno  20:13  <br />Yeah. So I remember, because we were child labor for the books, we stacked the books and lots of donated books, and we helped the editor in yeah, I remember, you know, I guess my dad will be a good one, because in fact, I was talking about a few months ago, and we kind of reminisced about the fact that when they bought that building, and I think they, you know, they one point they wanted to put a McDonald's there, and my mother was, you know, my mother and a number of other parents were "That is not going to happen on our watch." And, you know, Rita Morton, Rick Kadota, I'm trying to remember I was looking at some of the pictures, I'm trying to remember all their names, um, you know, they were super active, there was a kind of a team of them. And they, they bought the building. And then, just a day or two later, they had that big snowstorm and something. Was at [19]76? I mean, and the roof caved in. My mother didn't really you know had no experience. I mean, what what do you do when a roof caves in? And I don't know, my mom called was a middle of the night because the police call her and tell her the roof caved in. And she didn't know what to do. And they I don't know, who she was talking to, and, you know, someone at the police station, and they said, "Well, you know, there's off duty officers that are, you know, looking for work, they'll help protect the building." And so that and, you know, then they had to demolish, I think they demolished it and rebuilt it. And I just still remember us stacking books, there's a lot of books, and Ladonna was the first library and I don't remember how that you know, how that vetting or how they found her. But she was, you know, you know, became a family friend. And I think a good friend of my mom's and was, you know, we knew her for many years, it was a lot of fun, and we'd go there, and we'd study but I just remember working a lot. I just remember the books, we had to float. We had to carry books all the time, so that people were donating all the time.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  22:22  <br />She put you to work.<br /><br />Beth Keno  22:23  <br />Oh yeah, oh yeah, you got five kids got to do something with them. One of the things I was remembering as I was looking through some of the pictures, which I think I might just drop off for you, um, was that I don't know, if they still do Lincolnwood Library used to host authors. And they used to have, you know, this presentation, and then they would come back to our house. Now, I was, we were young. I mean, we're, you know, I know. I was trying to figure out why maybe 10-12. So those authors weren't necessarily you know, people that I remember, even though I found I found a picture of something so sweet Scott Turow is one of them. So pretty cool to look at that. But I still remember we met. As name first name, Jim Edgar, this was before he was, you know, he was invited because they would invite I don't know, when he wasn't the governor at the time. But I remember, you know, he's in the house and his secret service, or whoever his protection was sitting in the car, we felt bad for them, because they were sitting in the car. So we, we brought them, you know, drinks and some food so that they wouldn't go hungry. And I still remember that. And I just kind of stuck out when I was thinking about and going through the pictures of the library. Library stuff that we have.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  23:42  <br />She became mayor in was it in the early 90s?<br /><br />Beth Keno  23:46  <br />Yeah, she would have been mayor [19]90, I think would have been had been [19]93. Yeah. Because she had she had won her first term. And then she won her second term, and then she was going to run again. But, you know, her cancer kind of took her, took her out. And yeah, I think we were all--I was surprised. I mean, you know, at that point, I had a young daughter and I had moved to Highland Park and was working. So I was, you know, not as I don't think I knew as much you know what she was doing. You know, and so I was surprised I remember the campaign office that was over there at gosh I think it was where the the second time Kinny's was so Kinny's used to be over where Binny's is now and then I think it moved down kind of where the Fannie Mae is. There's a strip center and then they had her campaign office over there. Both times and you know, helping her a little bit. You know, with that and certainly being there and counting, you know, helping out doing the counts from all the different areas and you know, remembering you know, like, days. So those were always a lot of fun. And I think we would go over a number and I don't know, if we ended up at Monastero's, I know, monasteries was a place we would end up my dad used to run musician, Musicians Association election in Chicago every few years, and we were put to work there as well, because you had to actually count the balance. And then we would always end up at Monastero's. I know technically, that's not Lincolnwood. But it's right across the street. You know, afterwards to to have some dinner and celebrate our era are counting a lot of counting. Bella counting.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  25:44  <br />So you're saying that your family was kind of surprised that she was, that she was elected?<br /><br />Beth Keno  25:49  <br />I think I know, she was elected my sister probably was,  then I'm sure my dad wasn't because he was, you know, with her every day. But, um, I think when they asked her they suggested she run I think she was, you know, she she might have been a little surprised. I mean, she didn't had never, you know, run for anything before. Volunteerd. But, you know, this was, you know, an effort. I mean, should, you know, been the Library board president and the North Shore Suburban Library. So she, you know, been in that end of, you know, dealing with, you know, small into politics, I guess. In knowing and meeting a lot of people. I do remember, when she was mayor, you know, [Bill] Clinton came here, he came over to Myron and Phil's, and, but they didn't know ahead of time, because, you know, you know, they don't like publish a schedule, and she got this call from I don't know, the police or something, you know, come on over and, you know, meet meet Bill Clinton, you know, President Clinton at the time. And, you know, she, you know, that was a lot of fun. For a long time I think that picture had been up there. And then in the restaurant for a very long time. It was funny, because Myron and Phil's eventually, I don't know whether they're related or not. But it turns out, my sister used to ride down to Loyola, with the owner. And he wasn't the owner at the time, but they ended up taking it over was, you know, two people, two friends, she met and they ended up, they ended up taking for Myron and Phil's. And then we were a little surprised to see they were the owners and my sister remember them? You know, everybody always thinks that I'm her. So they'll always say "Maura!" and I'm like, "No, [I'm] Beth." So it's, you know, sometimes, you know, fun and sometimes going okay, but I don't know you, but cool.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  27:49  <br />What is something in your life that you are most proud of?<br /><br />Beth Keno  27:52  <br />Oh obviously, you know, my daughter, having my daughter and having her, you know, find success and happiness in her life and being a pretty good parent, I think if she came out as good as she did, oh, pretty proud of that.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  28:05  <br />[laughs] Any the other memories or anything else that you'd like to share?<br /><br />Beth Keno  28:10  <br />No, I as I said, I was a great you know, I just, you know, I can't remember. And I'm not I don't really focused on a lot of negative things. But I just remember, you know, really enjoying growing up in Lincolnwood. And in all the kids that I went to school with, I don't you know, I don't have any negative memories at all, you know, I only have fun memories and being a Girl Scout was okay, but no, it was fun. Because you're with you know, your other friends. And as I mentioned, the camp was, you know, camp was a lot of fun. And don't know I just remember and our neighbors and everybody was nice back then! I just it was it was friendly, and it was safe, and you didn't worry about your kids going outside. And you know it was fun, you know, growing up and learning to ride your bike outside and then riding everywhere you know, and getting your allowance and going over to first it would be Jewel for your candy bar and then it would be Pier One for you know, they had like sticky candies or something. It was, it was a good time.<br /><br />Lev Kalmens  29:22  <br />Well, I want to thank you for taking the time to talk to me and share your Lincolnwood story with us.
