Thank you, I got it right once in the post :) I corrected it. Yeah, they seem like real nice people and I wanted to get close to the Chicago area. You need to come to the exhibition if at all possible and say hi. Obviously the school will be good too but whatever you can manage,
Mark,

Ok, had to look it up - Manteno is just north of Kankakee off of 57. Not too bad of a drive from Peoria, Bloomington, or Champaign...so, let's see if some "downstaters" (since anything south of I-80 is DOWNSTATE :rolleyes:) can make it. :thumbup:

According to Mapquest, it's about 35 minutes from my house in Tinley Park, which is just about a half mile north of interstate 80.
 
oh, I know where Tinley Park is, I've played Dunne (the forst preserve course there), but never heard of Manteno. lol

oops, just looked it up, George W Dunne is "technically" in Oak Forest, not Tinley - my bad.
